Greenhouse Gas Verification: Limited Assurance

Providing Confidence in Environmental Reporting

Your Scope 1 & 2 Emissions. Verified. Credible. Defensible. 

GreenCircle’s Greenhouse Gas Verification: Limited Assurance provides third-party verification of your Scope 1 & 2 (Limited Assurance, ISO 14064-3) – so you can stand behind your numbers with confidence. 

Regulators, investors, customers, and retailers are all demanding more than estimates. 

  • SEC & CSRD require defensible disclosure 

  • California SB253, Canada GHGRP, and EU CBAM are raising the bar globally 

  • ESG raters and auditors now flag Scope 1& 2 data without assurance 

Without verification, your reporting is vulnerable to greenwashing accusations, reputational risk, and regulatory penalties.  

Why This Matters

Limited vs. Reasonable Assurance 

Not all assurance is created equal. 

Limited Assurance (what GCC provides):

A lower level of assurance with a negative conclusion - ‘nothing has come to our attention...’ This is the global standard for GHG verification. 

Reasonable Assurance:

A higher level of testing with a positive conclusion. Costly, time-intensive, and not required by most regulations. 

GCC’s Limited Assurance approach strikes a balance: credible, compliant, audit-ready – without unnecessary burden.
