Service Boundaries

Clear roles for credible independent work

This page explains how verification, audits, training and research are scoped. It is kept separate so the main site can focus on client needs and delivery capability.

Operating Model

Four clearly governed workstreams

01

GHG verification and validation

Formal work follows the applicable programme, accredited-entity, competence and authorization requirements. Conclusions are issued only through the required route.

02

Second- and third-party audits

Management-system and supplier audits are delivered against agreed criteria, scope and client mandate, with findings and follow-up kept distinct from training.

03

Professional training

Training develops capability through courses, cases and exercises. It does not issue or predetermine a formal verification, validation, audit or assurance conclusion.

04

Research and knowledge products

Research, publication training and Academy materials are educational outputs and are governed separately from formal independent engagements.

Engagement Controls

Checks completed before formal work

Scope and criteria

The subject matter, organizational or product boundary, reporting period, applicable standard and intended users are agreed before work starts.

Competence and authorization

Sector competence, personnel qualifications, programme rules and any accredited-entity requirements are checked against the assignment.

Independence and conflicts

Roles, previous work, commercial relationships and team allocation are reviewed before accepting independent work.

Reporting route

The entity responsible for the final report or conclusion is identified in the proposal and engagement documentation.
