LRQA can verify your corporate report against AccountAbility's AA1000 Assurance Standard (AA1000 AS) and Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI).

  • Greenhouse gas emissions

    LRQA work with organisations to help them demonstrate their emission reductions and compliance with national requirements.

    CDM validation is the independent evaluation of a project activity against the requirements of CDM. It is based on the project's design documentation, in particular the project's baseline, monitoring plan and compliance with relevant UNFCCC and host party criteria, to establish whether tradable credits are generated.
