About

VERIFY Agency

VERIFY Agency is the world’s first accredited company to verify organizational sustainability claims according to the verification program SIS/TS3:2025. Our core service is to ensure the truthfulness, transparency, and quality of a company’s sustainability work, acting as a crucial tool against greenwashing.

We launched in January 2021, responding to Sweden’s revision of the ISO 26000 standard and its Sustainability Declaration SIS/TS2:2025 including the United Nations Sustainability Goals (SDGs). This move aimed to boost competitiveness by providing a tool against greenwashing, promoting transparency and accountability. A verified Sustainability Declaration enhances credibility, helping companies secure tenders, loans, and investors.

In 2025, the Sustainability Declaration was further updated to align with new international standards like VSME and ESRS. This ensures companies can comply with new directives and laws, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), demonstrating a genuine and verified commitment to sustainability.

Accredited by SWEDAC, an agency under Sweden’s Ministry for Foreign Affairs, VERIFY Agency stands as a trusted partner, officially endorsed to bring clarity and integrity to sustainability reporting.

ISO/IEC 17029: The Global Standard 

The verification of sustainability claims is only credible if performed by an organization that follows proper procedures. The ISO/IEC 17029 standard is an international framework developed by global experts to ensure that verifiers are competent and their confirmations are reliable. It is the first standard of its kind that can be used to verify the accuracy of statements from organizations and companies, such as self-declarations and various reports. This standard provides a foundation of trust, giving everyone confidence in a company’s sustainability claims.

The accreditation is valid for the verification program: SIS/TS3:2025
