The SDG Verification aims to assess and ensure the accuracy of an organization’s claimed SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) achievements, particularly for companies participating in the PROPER assessment by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF).
Through verification conducted by a competent third party, the company’s SDG performance becomes more credible, measurable, and accountable, and can potentially gain an additional four points in the PROPER evaluation.
The verification covers various SDG indicators relevant to the company’s operations, such as:

Performance Verification ensures the accuracy and credibility of environmental performance claims made by a company.
These claims often relate to measurable achievements, such as:
The verification scope is tailored to the type of performance claim, for example:
Type of Claim | Focus of Verification | Example Indicators |
|---|---|---|
Zero Waste to Landfill | Validation of total waste diverted from landfill | Percentage of waste recycled, composted, or, recovered |
Water Reuse/Recycling | Evaluation of wwater management system and reused volume | Ratio of reused water to total consumption |
Renewable Energy Use | Review of energy sources and renewable contribution | Percentage of renewable energy (e.g. solar, biogas) |
Efficiency Improvement | Review of baseline and performance improvement | Reduction in energy, water, or material intensity |
The verification process follows internationally recognized standards such as ISO 14064-3:2019 and ISO 17029:2019, adopting an evidence-based and materiality-driven approach through:
