Environmental and social verification
Report on your environmental and social impact

Partnering with LRQA ensures a thorough examination of environmental and social practices, enhances transparency in reporting, and builds trust with stakeholders. By leveraging our extensive expertise, we not only verify compliance with ethical and sustainable principles but also provide valuable insights for improvement.

Integrated approach
We combine organisation and environmental data to effectively address your organisation's commitments to its environmental and social impact.
Social accountability
ISO 14067 specifies the principles, requirements and guidelines for the quantification and reporting of the carbon footprint of a product (PCF) and is consistent with life cycle assessment (LCA) Standards (ISO 14040 and ISO 14044). This Standard contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 13 on Climate Change.
Higg FEM
The Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) assessment tool standardises how organisations measure and evaluate their environmental performance including Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, water use, waste management and other environmental impact.
The primary goal of Higg FEM is to set a global standard to promote transparency and accountability throughout the textile industry and supply chains.
CSRD
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires all companies of a certain size to publish regular reports on their environmental and social impact activities that operate in the EU. These regulations will ensure that stakeholders have access to the information they need to assess the impact of companies on people and the environment.
LRQA can help you understand what CSRD means for your business and help you prepare for compliance.
