Ongoing Compliance Support
Practical advice to keep your environmental claims clear, supported and current.
Campaigns change. Products develop. Supplier information is updated. The evidence behind an environmental claim needs to keep pace.
Verdant ESG provides ongoing support for businesses communicating their sustainability credentials. We help your marketing, sustainability and leadership teams assess new claims, resolve questions and maintain a consistent approach across campaigns, packaging and public disclosures.
The approach
Advice Before Publication
An environmental claim can change meaning as it moves from a technical report to a campaign headline, product label or social media post. Qualifications can disappear. A specific improvement can become a much broader promise.
We review proposed wording alongside the supporting evidence and the context in which it will appear. Where a claim goes further than the evidence allows, we explain the concern and suggest a more accurate way to communicate the achievement.
Our support helps your team make informed decisions before material is published.
What we can support
Every Surface a Claim Appears On
Claims rarely fail in one place — risk builds across campaigns, packaging, reports and processes. Our ongoing support covers:
- 01
Campaigns and Product Launches
Review of environmental messaging in advertising, website copy, social content and launch materials, including the overall impression created by words and imagery.
- 02
Packaging and Labels
Advice on claims, comparisons, symbols and certification references, with particular attention to what the claim covers and whether its limitations are clear.
- 03
Evidence Supporting Claims
Assessment of the documents relied upon to substantiate a claim. We identify gaps, outdated information and questions that need to be resolved with suppliers or technical advisers.
- 04
Sustainability Communications
Review of environmental statements in reports, presentations and public communications, helping distinguish measured results from targets, commitments and future ambitions.
- 05
Existing Content
Periodic review of agreed material to identify claims that need updating as products, suppliers, evidence or business practices change.
- 06
Internal Review Processes
Practical guidance on who checks claims, what evidence should be retained and when a proposed statement needs further scrutiny.
