Normec Verifavia, as an independent verifier can verify your submission to the CCWG (CO2 and SOX) against the requirements of the CCWG Carbon Emissions Accounting Methodology as it became mandatory starting from the 2017 data collection process (based on 2016 data) to guarantee the quality of the data reported.
CCWG recently updated the verification rules in the Procedure and guidance for verifying the CO2 and SOX emissions data submission (v2.0, September 2016) which says that the verification must be conducted by the ISO 14064-3 standards to reach a limited level of assurance.
Perform CCWG and EU (European Union) MRV verification at the same time.
The CCWG verification audit and the EU MRV verification audit may be carried out at the same time to streamline the verification process and increase efficiencies. The observation of processes in place for monitoring, reporting, and checking the data (inc. relevant IT systems), the interviews with key staff, the evidence collected, and the data analyses provide useful inputs to both CCWG and EU MRV verification. The table below compares the verification requirements associated with the CCWG and the EU MRV:
The verification audit consists in review of documents, analysis of data, interviews, audit trails and observation of key processes and IT systems. Key deliverables include a verification report, a detailed issues log and a verification opinion statement with limited assurance.
Detailed list of items to audit for CCWG
Assess carrier documents and conduct preliminary data tests within the Turnkey platform.
Observe reporting processes, interview key personnel, and conduct data sampling for specific vessels.
Evaluate final data submission and issue an audit report with limited assurance.
Upon successful verification, receive a CCWG verification certificate.
CCWG verification is a process by which an independent third party verifies that a company’s GHG (Green House Gases) emissions data meets the CCWG’s standards. Verification helps to ensure that companies are accurately reporting their emissions and that they are making progress towards their GHG reduction goals.
CCWG membership demonstrates proactive compliance with evolving regulations for emission reporting and reduction in the shipping industry.
While not guaranteeing direct benefits, participation showcases commitment to transparency and responsible environmental practices, potentially influencing future regulatory decisions.
