Why the market trusts EDAT

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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

Our Process

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.

01

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.

02

Strategic Analysis

Evaluates the broader context, including the organisation's activities and sector-specific considerations, to guide the verification or validation approach.

03

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.

04

Evidence-Gathering & Sampling

Collects data, documents, and other information relevant to the GHG statement, applying sampling methods to verify the reliability of reported figures.

05

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.

06

Verification / Validation Review

Analyses all collected information and compares it against criteria to determine whether the GHG statement meets specified requirements.

07

Opinion Issuance

Delivers a formal conclusion, stating whether the verified or validated GHG information is accurate, complete, and conforms to the applicable standards.
