The verification of sustainability reports by TÜV HELLAS (TÜV NORD) is conducted in accordance with the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, and more specifically, the GRI Standards series. In detail:

The verification of the Sustainability Report level is based on the GRI Content Index, as well as the organization’s declaration regarding the applied level of the report. Based on these, the verifiers of TÜV HELLAS review all data submitted by the company. The audit is carried out according to the GRI specifications regarding the level of application [Core or Comprehensive].

In cases where a company wishes to verify specific chapters of its sustainability report, it must once again submit the written content of its report to TÜV HELLAS, indicating which Material Topics / Chapters it wishes to have verified.

A verification audit of the selected material topics (material topic indicators) follows. Any findings or remarks that arise during this process are communicated to the company’s responsible personnel and are also documented in the official Verification Report.

Upon completion of the procedure, TÜV HELLAS issues a Verification Attestation for the verified level and/or the material topic indicators of the Sustainability Report.
