Sustainability Report Validation

This service enhances the value of stakeholder-related corporate sustainability reporting by providing highly qualified third-party assurance. The process includes evaluating the information being disclosed both for relevance, value, and verification purposes. The process includes:

Step 1. Complimentary one hour assessment meeting. You receive a preliminary checklist of what will be necessary based on your purpose, goals, and objectives enabling you to confirm the viability of continuing the process.

Step 2.  Catalog with a clear checklist the data to be verified. What specifically does the organization intend to disclose, under what standards or regulations if relevant, and for what purpose? What information does it wish not to disclose? Determine the availability and nature of documentation to substantiate those efforts, metrics used to evaluate their progress, and how it will be shared in a secure manner. If the organization already has a corporate sustainability report, that is the natural place to start in determining the final scope of the evaluation.

Step 3. Conduct the evaluation. This generally entails a review of the data, communications, training, or other materials that substantiate actions and outcomes.

Step. 4. Validation. ICEE provides a letter of assurance for the sustainability report provided that substantiation is provided for each claim in accordance with the same processes used in ISO audits. This certification of independent assurance can be displayed on the report and in related marketing.
