Independent Assurance for Credible Sustainability Reporting
As sustainability reporting becomes more visible and regulated, organisations face growing pressure to ensure their data is accurate and trustworthy. Arthian’s independent verification and assurance services help you validate your disclosures, meet stakeholder expectations, and reduce reputational risk.
Third party verification is the independent review of sustainability data, claims, or reports to confirm accuracy, completeness, and alignment with recognised standards. It’s increasingly expected by investors, regulators, customers, and ESG ratings providers—and essential for credible reporting.
We tailor every FRA to the unique characteristics of the site and the level of risk involved. Our assessments are prepared in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), Planning Policy Wales, SEPA guidance, and other relevant statutory requirements.
We offer impartial verification and assurance for carbon footprints, ESG disclosures, and sustainability reports, helping you build confidence in your data and demonstrate integrity in your sustainability performance.
We verify Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions against GHG Protocol, ISO 14064-1, and PAS 2060. Our process includes reviewing data sources, emissions factors, methodologies, and supporting documentation to ensure accuracy and credibility.
We provide limited or reasonable assurance of ESG reports, checking data accuracy, framework alignment, narrative claims, and supporting evidence. This helps strengthen the credibility of your disclosures and build trust with stakeholders.
We assess the credibility of net zero targets, carbon neutrality statements, ESG KPIs, and supply chain claims, helping you avoid reputational risk and ensure transparency in your sustainability communications.
We help you prepare for external audits by reviewing controls, identifying gaps, gathering documentation, and training internal teams. Our support ensures your systems are well-documented, compliant, and ready for third-party review.

It depends on the framework. CSRD requires assurance; SECR does not. Many organisations choose voluntary verification to enhance credibility.
