How it works

Define the scope

Together, we decide what to verify: which topics, standards and indicators.

01

Gathering evidence

We assess both your ESG data and your claims. Not just what you measure, but also what you say.

02

Getting to the facts

Is it accurate? Is it in context? Is it transparent? Is it complete? We keep going until the facts are clear.

03

Talking with your people

We speak with the people doing the work and see how things work in practice.

04

Sharing our findings

You’ll get a clear picture of what’s working well and where there’s room to improve.

05

Statement & management briefing

An independent statement confirming your information, plus practical recommendations for what comes next.

06

Ready

You’re ready.

We’ll move straight on to the full verification.

Or Not

You’re not ready yet.

We’ll provide a Management Briefing with guidance to help you get there.

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?

  • Why should I have my sustainability performance independently assured?

    Because sustainability has become part of doing business. Claims need evidence. Customers, banks, investors and business partners want confidence that your sustainability claims hold up. Our independent assurance provides that trust, without passing judgment.

    We don’t provide assurance to judge, but solely to establish the facts with clarity, so you know exactly where you stand. The result? Greater trust. Greater credibility. And stronger confidence in your sustainability performance.

  • Isn’t sustainability assurance mainly about inspection?

    Certainly. But we do this without the moral judgment of the activist or the pointing finger of the accountant. At FIRA, verification isn't about settling scores; it's about a genuine understanding of your business. Understanding lowers defences. That allows us to verify your sustainability performance even more thoroughly. Which means you can improve more effectively, make better choices, and take on sustainability yourselves.

  • What can Fira provide assurance on?

    From marketing claims to ESG data and climate-related claims. We provide assurance on carbon emissions, KPIs based on VSME or GRI, ESG performance and complete sustainability reports. Always with one objective: establishing what truly stands up.

  • What commercial value does sustainability assurance provide?

    Greater credibility. Less uncertainty for customers, banks, investors and business partners. Stronger support for proposals, investors and corporate communications. It demonstrates that sustainability within your organisation isn’t just a promise, but a proven reality.

  • What if we’re not yet ready for full sustainability assurance?

    That’s exactly where we can help. Our Readiness Check gives you immediate insight into what’s working well and where improvement is needed. If additional work is required, you’ll receive a practical action plan that helps you prepare for full sustainability assurance.

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

    Every sustainability assurance engagement and every TIM Rating 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.
