Empowering Trust through Third-Party Verification · ISO 14064 · ISO 14065
Verification that holds up. Assurance the market can build on.
EDAT is an independent verification and validation body delivering ISO-aligned GHG assurance, ESG report verification, and carbon market support to operators, regulators, and project developers.
Standards-built. Independently reviewed. Defensible.
We exist to give regulators, investors, and stakeholders the confidence to trust the numbers — and to give operators the rigour they need to defend them.
ISO 14064 & 14065 Alignment
Every engagement is built on the ISO 14060 series — 14064-1, -2, -3, 14065, 14066, 14067 — and ISO/IEC 17029, the standards that define credible GHG verification and validation worldwide.
Built for Regulatory Complexity
Our work navigates IPCC inventory methodologies, Article 6 cooperative approaches, EU CBAM disclosures, ISSB and IFRS S2 reporting, and national MRV regimes — translating regulatory pressure into defensible evidence.
Independent, Defensible Opinions
Impartiality is structural, not promised. Every assurance opinion is independently reviewed before issue, in line with ISO 14065 and ISO/IEC 17029 — so clients and markets can rely on what we say.
Verification, validation, audit, and training to global standards
From GHG verification to carbon market support — we cover the full assurance lifecycle for organisations of every size.
GHG Verification
In an era where transparency is essential, EDAT's GHG verification helps organisations build trust by ensuring the accuracy of their emissions data against ISO 14064-3 and ISAE 3410 — delivering limited or reasonable assurance opinions for Scope 1, 2, and 3.
Learn moreGHG Validation
With carbon credits playing a critical role in sustainability, our validation ensures carbon offset projects meet industry-recognised standards such as VCS and Gold Standard — guaranteeing the credibility of projected GHG reduction claims before a single credit is issued.
Learn moreESG Assurance
Investors and regulators increasingly demand accountability in sustainability reporting. Our ESG assurance validates disclosures against GRI, SASB, TCFD, and ISSB/IFRS S2 — ensuring transparency, credibility, and compliance with evolving reporting requirements.
Learn moreVoluntary Carbon Market
Organisations and consumers demand truthful sustainability claims. EDAT verifies product carbon footprints and certifies claims such as 'carbon neutral' and 'net zero' — preventing greenwashing and ensuring compliance with ISO 14067 and applicable labelling standards.
Learn moreSustainable Finance
We conduct independent sustainability audits and supplier assessments to ensure companies and their supply chains adhere to environmental and social responsibility standards — identifying gaps, mitigating risks, and strengthening sustainability performance.
Learn moreTraining & Capacity Building
Empower your teams with customised training on ESG reporting, voluntary carbon markets, regulatory compliance, and sustainable finance best practices — delivered by practising verifiers, not generalists.

Standards We Work With
A seven-stage verification and validation process
Structured, risk-based, and aligned with ISO 14064-3 — every engagement follows the same rigorous pathway from scope to signed opinion.
Pre-Engagement
Establishes the scope, objectives, and conditions of the verification or validation, ensuring mutual understanding and agreement between the client and the verification body.
Strategic Analysis
Evaluates the broader context, including the organisation's activities and sector-specific considerations, to guide the verification or validation approach.
Risk Assessment
Identifies and prioritises potential sources of error or misstatement in the GHG data, focusing efforts on areas with the greatest impact on accuracy.
Evidence-Gathering & Sampling
Collects data, documents, and other information relevant to the GHG statement, applying sampling methods to verify the reliability of reported figures.
Site Visits
Conducts on-location inspections and interviews to confirm that reported operations and processes match actual practices and documentation based on project requirement and assurance level.
Verification / Validation Review
Analyses all collected information and compares it against criteria to determine whether the GHG statement meets specified requirements.
Opinion Issuance
Delivers a formal conclusion, stating whether the verified or validated GHG information is accurate, complete, and conforms to the applicable standards.
