About Us

Vision + Mission

Vision

We provide certainty in an uncertain world, mitigating mis- and disinformation in sustainability claims globally.

Mission

Certainty in sustainability starts with trust. We provide independent, third-party verification to navigate claims with confidence.

About

With over 110 years of combined experience, the Verico team has played a pivotal role in shaping the industry's most recognized third-party verification (3PV) standards for sustainability and environmental claims. Our deep expertise ensures the highest quality and integrity, operating in compliance with ISO/IEC 17065 requirements.

Over the past 25 years, our team has conducted 1,000s of third-party audits to bring accountability to sustainability claims. Our audits follow a robust Quality Management System (QMS) that upholds the strictest verification standards, ensuring every claim is accurate, transparent, and credible.  To view our Quality Scheme, visit here.

We do this because credibility in sustainability matters. In a landscape crowded with unverified claims, we are committed to mitigating mis- and disinformation, enhancing accountability, and ensuring integrity in sustainability certifications. Our core values—accountability, reliability, transparency, efficiency, and confidence—are at the heart of everything we do, so businesses and stakeholders can trust that every certification is backed by expertise and uncompromising quality.

At Verico, we don’t create standards—we verify them with certainty.
