Combining TIM Assessment with Assurance

Measure where you stand. Verify your claims.

A TIM Assessment shows exactly where your organisation stands today. A verified report proves your sustainability claims stand up. Together, they give you the complete picture and a clear way to measure real sustainability progress.

About us

Honestly forward

We verify with a genuine understanding of your business. Because understanding is a kind of psychological fuel. It lowers defences. That makes honesty possible, allowing us to establish more clearly where you currently stand. And that's essential to move forward.

Frequently asked questions

Want to know more about how we help companies become more sustainable?

  • What does a TIM Assessment actually give us?

    A TIM Assessment provides independent proof of your sustainability performance. Not only for your own organisation, but also for customers, banks, investors and business partners. The outcome is clear: one to five stars, showing exactly where you stand and where opportunities for improvement lie. No lengthy reports. Just clear insight you can act on.

  • Why is an independent TIM Assessment important?

    Because sustainability claims are increasingly scrutinised. An independent TIM Assessment shows that your story doesn’t just sound convincing. It holds up! That builds trust and helps prevent discussions about goodwashing.

  • Isn’t a TIM Assessment a time-consuming process?

    No. We focus only on the topics that are relevant to your organisation. Where possible, we build on work you’ve already done, including ESG reports, VSME reporting and other existing documentation. One dataset. One dossier. Less duplication. Less frustration. Better results. your investment: one thorough round of insight, for lasting results.

  • What makes the TIM Assessment different from sustainability ratings?

    The TIM Assessment doesn’t just assess policies. It measures what your organisation actually does and achieves. The Assessment is based on three pillars: Transparency (20%), Impact (60%), Management (20%). The result is a complete, balanced and honest picture of your sustainability performance.

  • Is the TIM Assessment only relevant for large organisations?

    Not at all. Any organisation that takes sustainability seriously benefits from clear insight and independent evidence. Whether you’re just getting started or already well advanced, a TIM Assessment helps you move forward with confidence.

  • How much does sustainability assurance or a TIM Assessment cost?

    Every sustainability assurance engagement and every TIM Assessment is different. That’s why we first take the time to understand your organisation and your objectives before preparing a proposal. You’ll receive that proposal within one working day of our introductory meeting, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

  • What exactly is a TIM Assessment?

    The TIM Assessment shows how your organisation is really performing when it comes to sustainability. We don’t measure what you promise. We measure what you do and the impact it has on people, the environment and governance. The outcome is one clear result: one to five stars, showing exactly where you stand and where you can improve.

    No lengthy reports. Just an honest starting point for your next step.

  • What does a TIM Assessment actually deliver?

    Four things that matter.

    • Recognition: A star certificate you can share with customers, banks, investors and business partners.
    • Insight: A clear understanding of where your organisation is making the greatest difference.
    • Focus: A better understanding of where your biggest opportunities lie.
    • Credibility: Independent evidence that strengthens trust in your sustainability performance.

    In short: proof of your sustainability performance, plus clear direction for what comes next.
