verico SCE is your accredited partner to audit your emission reports as an independent body. With us as auditing partners, the legal requirements are met and in general, the credibility of your activities for more sustainability increases.

Emission reports in accordance with § 7 paragraph 3 SESTA have to be verified by an independent expert testing body – such as verico SCE. This obligation is initially suspended for the years 2021 and 2022 (§ 7 paragraph 2 EBeV 2022). More to follow…

Energy Audits

The EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) 2012/27/EU obliges all companies (other than those covered by the definition of a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME)) to carry out an energy audit in accordance with EN 16247-1 at least every four years. The first deadline was 05/12/2015. There are separate deadlines for companies that fall within the definition later..

Companies that already have a certified energy management system according to EN ISO 50001 or an environmental management system according to EMAS are exempt from the obligation to carry out the energy audit.

An energy audit in accordance with EN 16247-1 sets requirements for:

• the energy auditor (including competence, objectivity, transparency)
• elements of the energy audit process (including kick-off meeting, data collection)
• necessary outdoor missions (including site inspections)
• the analysis of the results
• the report form
• holding a closing meeting

With its range of services, verico SCE can support you with the performance of energy audits as well as with the certification of your energy management system according to EN ISO 50001. Make sure your approach meets the legal requirements. Feel free to contact us.

Audits / Verification

The 2006 IPCC Guidelines, consider the conduct of audits and verification by independent third parties as an important element of quality assurance and quality control in the preparation of national inventory reports for reporting to the UNFCCC. An external audit proves to be a useful element of quality assurance in national reporting and should be repeated at regular intervals.

The objective of quality management audits for inventory development, in addition to reviewing compliance with the quality requirements of the IPCC 2006 Guidelines, is to identify potential for improvement and potential risks to maintaining data quality. Specific improvement potentials for all emission categories to be examined if identified, can then be integrated into the continuous improvement process.

The verification of the aggregated data of a national inventory includes plausibility checks by means of relevant indicators, comparison with corresponding characteristics of the inventories of other states, as well as cross-checks based on published data from independent sources.

Verico SCE’s expert network includes specialists for emissions and also emission reduction potential in all sectors and activities relevant to greenhouse gas emissions. We help governments to ensure the quality of their greenhouse gas emissions data and monitor the success of their actions.

Take advantage of our services and ensure the effectiveness of your efforts .

Independent assessment

As an accredited organization for the audit of greenhouse gas balances according to ISO14065, we verify the correctness and completeness of the co2 footprint information and thus increase the credibility, transparency and comparability of information. Talk to us about the extent to which your CO2 footprint can be certified or if you are at the very beginning of a project.

If we have aroused your interest, please contact us for further information at office@verico.eu

On the way to becoming climate neutral, it is crucial to know the CO2 footprint of your own company, on the way to becoming climate neutral. Part of these climate protection-relevant activities in a company can be a carbon footprint management system. We have summarized our expertise in this topic in a verico guide for a carbon footprint management system, which you are welcome to obtain free of charge from us. In doing so, we build on the High-Level Structure (HLS) known from the current series of standards. This allows you to easily integrate climate management into existing processes.

The CO2 footprint is a measure of the total amount of all greenhouse gas emissions (expressed in CO2 equivalents) that arise or are caused directly or indirectly in the manufacture of your products or the provision of your services. This measure of the climate impact of all our activities has become increasingly important in recent years.

If you know your footprint, more targeted climate protection measures can be taken to achieve the desired climate goals. Verified data on their CO2 footprint are now being used by more and more consumers and business partners in their decision-making.

Certification

• You realized that you may benefit from the introduction of an energy management system, due to the fact that energy presents a crucial cost factor which you would like to reduce in a systematic and continuous way?
• Sustainability represents a crucial asset for your enterprise and you advocate a careful use of resources?
• You want to use the legal opportunities for a reimbursement of the electricity taxes and/or subsidies for your industrial activities on a permanent basis and to put the required documentation of the adoption of energy efficiency measures on a sound and systematic basis?
• You are subject to regulations of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and you deliberately decided to introduce an energy management system in line with DIN EN ISO 50001 requirements?
• You are searching for a certification organization, which apprehends your complex operations and understands the technological background behind production processes as well as your supply requirements?

Then you already adopted an energy management system that could be certified in line with the ISO 50001 standards or you are on your way to establish it. Contact us now!
