Product sustainability verification | Speeki
Assurance of sustainable product representations builds trust.
Product assurance is essential because sustainability claims influence consumer purchasing decisions, B2B procurement and regulatory compliance. Yet these claims are vulnerable to greenwashing due to complex lifecycle impacts, opaque supply chains and the difficulty of independently verifying manufacturer assertions.
Retailers increasingly demand verified sustainability data from suppliers. Green building standards require third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations. Sustainability-conscious consumers and procurement professionals cannot distinguish between credible, data-backed claims and marketing without independent verification.
Without independent verification, your product sustainability claims are just marketing. Assurance builds credible competitive advantage that satisfies customers, regulators and sceptical markets.
Product Carbon Footprint Verification
(ISO 14067 / PAS 2050)
-
Speeki provides independent third-party verification of product carbon footprints calculated in accordance with:
ISO 14067
PAS 2050
GHG Protocol Product Standard.
-
Our verification examines whether product carbon footprints are calculated accurately and in line with recognised methodologies, including:
lifecycle boundaries from raw material extraction to end-of-life
emission factors for materials, energy and transport
allocation methods for multi-product facilities
primary data from operations and suppliers
secondary data sources and LCA databases
treatment of biogenic carbon and land use change
accuracy and completeness of stated CO2e results.
-
As product carbon disclosure becomes mandatory or commercially expected, independent verification provides:
credible carbon footprint disclosures on packaging and websites
acceptance in retail, procurement and regulatory contexts
defensible comparative carbon claims
substantiation for carbon neutral product claims
reduced greenwashing risk
confidence for customers, retailers and regulators.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) verification
(ISO 14025 / EN 15804)
-
Speeki provides independent third-party verification of Environmental Product Declarations prepared in accordance with:
ISO 14025
sector-specific Product Category Rules
EN 15804 for construction products.
-
Our verification examines whether EPDs meet applicable technical and programme requirements, including:
lifecycle assessment data across mandatory impact categories
compliance with relevant Product Category Rules
data quality, completeness and representativeness
system boundaries and functional units
reference service life assumptions
cut-off criteria and allocation methods
conformity for registration with recognised EPD programme operators.
-
As EPDs become standard in construction and procurement markets, independent verification provides:
recognition in green building certification systems
acceptance in public procurement processes
compliance with programme operator requirements
credibility across multiple environmental impact categories
successful technical review at first submission
confidence for architects, engineers and procurement professionals.
Circular economy and recycled content verification
-
Speeki provides independent verification of circular economy product claims, including:
recycled content percentages
recyclability claims
product durability and lifetime extension claims
remanufacturing and refurbishment programmes
take-back scheme effectiveness
circular business model assertions.
-
Our verification examines whether circular claims are technically substantiated and aligned with applicable requirements, including:
mass balance documentation for recycled material inputs
chain of custody from waste collection to manufacturing
recyclability against ISO 14021 and relevant protocols
availability of recycling infrastructure
design for disassembly and material compatibility
durability testing and expected lifetime evidence
substantiation of take-back and service-based models.
-
As regulators introduce substantiation requirements for circular claims, independent verification provides:
compliance with requirements such as the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation
defensible recycled content and recyclability claims
appropriate qualification of theoretical and practical recyclability
reduced greenwashing risk
credibility in procurement and consumer markets
protection against regulatory enforcement and reputational damage.
Product certification and verification are complex and shaped by industry codes, ISO standards and emerging rules. Let’s discuss your needs and how we can help.
Transform product sustainability claims from greenwashing risk into verified competitive advantage.
“Done well, products that have sustainable features and improve the ‘job to be done’ are successful. But those companies that cut corners, make false representations or mislabel sustainable features will face a very tough consumer.”
Andrew Henderson, Lead Auditor, Speeki
Product level assurance by Speeki
Product assurance transforms sustainability attributes from marketing vulnerabilities into defensible competitive advantage.
Assurance enables confident communication of environmental performance, meets customer and regulatory verification requirements, differentiates products in crowded markets and protects brand reputation against greenwashing allegations that can quickly erode consumer trust and market access.
We know that product assurance can be complex.
