DATA AND INFORMATION VERIFICATION

Overview

As global leaders look for agreements and commitments to the achievement of environmental and sustainability goals, companies, large and small, are determined to play their part. At the same time, stakeholders such as investors, staff, customers, and suppliers seek reliable and accurate ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) information that helps them to make well-informed decisions.

LRQA can independently verify your data, information and reports to drive credibility and confidence with the people that matter most to you. Delivered against the world’s leading standards and schemes, such as ISO 14064 and AA1000, or through a bespoke programme built around your specific requirements, our verification services will help push your performance forward.

The Assurance Statements we provide are accepted by global schemes such as CDP, and we’re recognised supporters of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

Benefits of LRQA verification

Trust and transparency

An LRQA Assurance Statement gives stakeholders and investors’ confidence that data is accurate, representative and benchmarkable. This helps them make informed decisions based on a company’s strategy, performance, risks and growth opportunities. We can also support your existing supply chain verification programmes – or work with you to build new ones that meet your specific needs.

Competitive advantage

Customers are choosing products from companies that they trust to act responsibly and sustainably. By disclosing LRQA verified information, companies can raise sustainability scores, enhance brand value and improve attractiveness to potential investors.

Efficiency gain

LRQA verification can reveal inefficiencies, waste, data gaps, errors or misstatements in a process that identifies cost savings and opportunities for continuous improvement in companies and their supply chains.

Regulatory compliance

LRQA’s expert and highly experienced verification teams are able to ensure that data and information is provided to demonstrate compliance with both existing and forthcoming regulations.
