Verification Services - Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals
The worldwide chemical industry is already one of the leading sectors in reducing emissions from its manufacturing processes. Highly energy intensive, the industry has adopted voluntary measures and adhered to legislation to cut greenhouse gas emissions. CICS offers GHG verification for regulatory, legislative, sustainability and corporate social responsibility reporting purposes.
Our verifiers visit all kinds of chemical manufacturing plants - from relatively small installations making speciality chemicals to huge petrochemical plants. Being skilled chemists and engineers themselves, they understand how these sites operate and are also aware of the additional health and safety requirements when on site, thus reducing your risk.
CICS verifiers operating in the chemicals sector understand process flow and energy accounting and can quickly come to terms with even the most complex sites.
We offer the following services:
- Verification
Independent verification of Greenhouse Gas emissions for both voluntary and mandatory reporting schemes. - CSR
Independent verification of your Corporate Social Responsibility Report is a discriminator of real commitment and action and satisfies your stakeholders' demands for accuracy, validity, materiality, transparency. - Carbon Footprinting
For clients who are performing carbon footprinting, including distribution, which can involve complex arrangements with haulers and/or owned transportation, CICS verifiers can help you unravel the complexities of calculating emissions to the client's "gate." CICS works to international carbon footprinting standards ISO 14064 (Part 1) and the WRI / WBCSD GHG Protocol. - Training
