Why independence matters
Credibility comes from an opinion that stands apart.
CoZero evaluates greenhouse gas information objectively. Our processes protect impartiality, confidentiality and the integrity of every conclusion.
Impartial
Conflicts are identified and managed before work begins.
Evidence led
Conclusions follow tested information and agreed criteria.
Transparent
Scope, findings and outcomes are communicated clearly.
The verification pathway
A clear route to an independent opinion.
Every engagement starts by defining the assertion, criteria, boundary and intended use. CoZero then evaluates the evidence and reports a clear, independent conclusion.
- Define the engagement
Confirm the assertion, criteria, boundary, level of assurance and intended use.
- Evaluate the evidence
Assess data, controls, calculations and material risks through an evidence-based process.
- Resolve findings
Communicate material issues and evaluate the evidence supporting corrective action.
- Issue the opinion
Conclude against the agreed criteria and provide the appropriate verification output.
