Irish company EcoVerify says it has become the first firm in the world accredited to verify carbon neutrality claims and to validate and verify Net Zero Pathways.
The accreditation was granted by the Dutch Accreditation Council.
EcoVerify is now the first Irish-owned firm accredited under EN ISO 17029 to independently verify carbon footprints, carbon neutrality, and Net Zero claims, reinforcing the country’s leadership in credible climate action and transparency.
Since its launch in 2023, the company is aiming to combat greenwashing and its advancement coincides with the increased number of global sustainability disclosures that are required of businesses to meet in an ever-changing political landscape.
It said this necessitated through large-scale investor scrutiny, socially conscious clients who desire environmentally responsible suppliers, and the need to ensure consumer confidence in verifiable sustainability claims.
Laura Mora, Managing Director of EcoVerify, said that in a world of shifting regulations and rising ESG scrutiny, verified sustainability is no longer optional – it’s a strategic differentiator.
“Sustainability isn’t just for the big players. SMEs verified today are tomorrow’s preferred suppliers. We are therefore delighted to achieve the Raad Voor certification which ensures that the confidence in the quality of services we offer to the market is fully justified,” she added.
EcoVerify said today it will start its new Academy of Sustainability Training Courses in May.
These programmes will offer Irish company executives the skills necessary for businesses to understand sustainability reporting, carbon footprints, and GHG Management and Net Zero Claims.
