Verification & Validation
Winning Trust through Standardized and Comparable Confirmation Services
Organizations make a wide range of sustainability, climate, and ethical claims, from environmental performance to responsible business conduct. Regardless of the nature of these statements, investors, customers, and business partners expect them to be truthful and reliable and supported by robust evidence.
DEKRA offers verification and validation services to assess whether sustainability-related information and results are accurate, consistent, and based on recognized methodologies. These services enable organizations to substantiate their claims, reduce compliance and reputational risks, and demonstrate credibility in increasingly regulated and transparent markets.
Organizations must ensure that sustainability-related statements and reports are based on consistent and reliable methodologies to support verification and validation. As climate, environmental, and ESG disclosures expand in scope and complexity, ensuring comparability, methodological consistency, and traceability across different types of information becomes increasingly challenging. Without a uniform and recognized basis for verification and validation, results may lack consistency and robustness.
Validation is the assessment of statements or data related to future events, assumptions, or planned activities. It examines whether underlying methodologies, projections, or project designs are plausible, consistent, and based on recognized approaches before implementation. Validation therefore focuses on the reliability of intended outcomes and forward-looking information.
Verification is the assessment of historical data and reported results. It involves examining documented information to confirm that reported figures, such as greenhouse gas emissions or carbon footprints, are accurate, complete, and consistent with defined methodologies. Verification therefore focuses on confirming achieved results and existing data.
DEKRA provides verification and validation services based on internationally recognized standards such as ISO/IEC 17029 and ISO 14065. These frameworks establish structured and reliable approaches for verifying and validating a wide range of statements and reports. Our approach ensures independent and impartial assessments supported by professional competence.
