What Is the Role of Third-Party Verification in Sustainable Sportswear?

Third-party verification provides independent assessment within a defined scope and method.

Verification must match the claim, material, production site, and relevant supply-chain stage. Check the issuer, current validity, scope, and supporting transaction records where applicable; a genuine document can still be irrelevant to the particular product or shipment the brand intends to describe in its marketing. Check competence and relevance to the claim.
