Clients may use the VERIFAVIA mark_ the logo representing VERIFAVIA's validation or verification services_ under strict conditions set by ISO 17029 and ISO 14065 standards.

NORMEC VERIFAVIA ensures that the use of its mark in client communications accurately reflects the scope and validity of the environmental claims verified, maintains the credibility of the verification process, and upholds the integrity of the mark itself.

No, Clients should not alter the design, color, shape, or any other aspect of the verification mark without permission.

As an independent and impartial validation and verification body, it is crucial for VERIFAVIA to ensure that its mark is used properly to reflect accurately the scope and validity of the environmental claims it has verified or validated. Misuse of their mark could undermine the trust stakeholders place in the services provided and in the environmental claims of the organizations using the mark.

VERIFAVIA clients should adhere to the following refined guidelines when demonstrating compliance with verification and validation findings in public communications

An effective compliance statement could be: “As part of our commitment to environmental integrity, our 2023 GHG (Green House Gases) emissions report has been independently verified by VERIFAVIA, confirming our adherence to international environmental standards and practices.” This statement clearly communicates compliance with verification findings and underscores the company’s dedication to environmental responsibility.

The validity of verification or validation—and thus the right to use the VERIFAVIA mark—is subject to the specific terms of our verification/validation statement. Generally, clients should anticipate renewing their verification or validation annually to reflect their latest environmental performance accurately. We encourage clients to consult with us well ahead of their renewal dates to ensure continuous compliance.

No, Verifavia's clients are strictly forbidden from using the logos of national accreditation bodies such as COFRAC (France), UKAS (United Kingdom), and SAC (Singapore) when publishing their verified or validated environmental claims certified by Verifavia.
