OUR ACTIVITIES
During ESG verification, we go through a structured process, including:
-
Define scope and criteria – we determine together which topics, standards and indicators we verify.
-
Information collection and assessment – we assess both quantitative and qualitative ESG information, including not only metrics but also your 'claims' (CSR statements).
-
Analysis of accuracy, context, and completeness – we determine whether the information is correct and presented in the correct context.
-
Interviews and process audits – we speak with involved employees and assess internal working methods.
-
Findings and areas for improvement – you will receive clear insights into strengths and opportunities to improve reporting or processes.
-
Positive statement – you will receive a positive statement (no double negatives) and management letter, demonstrably confirming the reliability of your information.

WITH VERIFICATION FROM FIRA SUSTAINABILITY, YOUR ESG STORY IS PROVEN TO BE RELIABLE
By verifying your ESG report, you demonstrate to customers, partners, and other stakeholders that your sustainability claims are verifiable, factual, and credible. This strengthens trust in your brand and demonstrates your true commitment to sustainability.
COMBINATION WITH ESG RATING (TIM RTING)
For maximum efficiency and insight, you can combine ESG assurance with the TIM measurement. We build a single file and use the same data, giving you both a positive statement about the reliability of your ESG claims and a clear star rating of your performance. This gives you a single, integrated overview that strengthens trust and translates directly into strategic insights and improvement actions.
WEB-BASED ASSURANCE
For years, we've seen a trend where companies are replacing printed reports with attractive covers, or even PDF files, with a sustainability website. They're becoming more transparent by making creative use of their websites. The main advantage is the flexibility this offers. FIRA supports this trend and endorses a methodology for "web-based assurance." Feel free to request more information.
