EVIDENCE MODEL & METHODOLOGY

Transparent, defensible carbon accounting.

Veritas operates on a strict evidence hierarchy. We separate traceable primary records from voluntary declarations, giving directors, bank credit committees, and external auditors data they can verify.

The Three-Tier Evidence Model

TIER 1: PRIMARY INGESTION RECORDS

Utility consumption data (kWh electricity, gas meter reads, fuel invoices), direct refrigerant logs, and verifiable operational documentation. Calculations follow standard UK Government GHG Conversion Factors.

TIER 2: HUMAN ADVISORY OVERSIGHT

Credentialed graduates from Imperial College London (MSc Environmental Technology) and UCL (MSc Sustainable Economics & Policy) verify organisational boundaries, identify standard applicability, and stress-test assumptions.

TIER 3: STATUTORY & TENDER OUTPUTS

Structured Credibility Passports, Scope 1 & 2 disclosure packs, and carbon reduction plans aligned to UK PPN 06/21, UK SRS, and VSME requirements.

Methodological Boundaries & Limitations
  • Veritas Climate provides advisory and carbon accounting compilation services based on client-provided records. We do not issue formal ISO 14064 third-party accredited audit certificates.
  • Scope 3 supply chain calculations rely on supplier questionnaire disclosures and industry emission factor proxies unless specific supplier activity data is provided.
  • External empirical checks (such as satellite flux grids) provide regional sanity checks on facility coordinates but do not replace metering data.
