Management system certifications

The baseline: how we run the business itself.

Before a single risk score is calculated, the systems and processes producing it need to be independently certified as sound.

ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

Certifies that our product development, delivery and customer support processes are managed to a consistent, auditable quality standard - not left to individual teams' discretion.

ISO 27001 - Information Security Management

Certifies our information security management system - covering access control, encryption, incident response and risk management - the same practices described in our Data Management Policy.

Inspection, verification & assurance standards

What backs SYNE Climate Risk Management's monitoring and GHG verification.

Continuous monitoring is only credible if the inspection and verification work behind it meets recognised conformity-assessment standards.

ISO 17020

General criteria for bodies performing inspection - the standard underlying SYNE Climate Risk Management's site and asset-level physical inspection work.

ISO 17029

General principles for validation and verification bodies - the conformity-assessment framework our GHG verification work is conducted under.

ISO 14064-1/2/3

The three-part standard for quantifying, reporting and verifying greenhouse gas emissions at organisation and project level - the specification behind our GHG calculations, before methodology-specific frameworks like the GHG Protocol are applied.

ISO 14065

Requirements for bodies validating and verifying GHG assertions - the accreditation standard our GHG verification teams operate under.

Carbon & ESG measurement methodologies

The two methodologies everything else builds on.

Every emissions figure on the platform - corporate or financed - traces back to one of these two methodologies.

GHG Protocol

The Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard behind our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions calculations in Enterprise Sustainability - the same methodology referenced by virtually every other framework on this page.

PCAF

The Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials methodology behind Green Finance's financed-emissions calculations, across all seven PCAF asset classes.

ESG ratings, assurance & data provider licensing

Where SYNE Ratings is licensed to operate.

ESG rating and data provision is an increasingly regulated activity - across 33 licensed jurisdictions in total, once every European country reachable under ESMA's authorisation is counted individually alongside India, the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan. These licenses apply to SYNE Ratings specifically - kept arm's-length from the platform, as described on our About SYNE page - not to SYNE's own products.

SEBI - India

Registered under the Securities and Exchange Board of India's framework for ESG rating providers, covering ratings issued to Indian-listed entities.

ESMA - Europe

Authorised under the EU ESG Ratings Regulation, which brings ESG rating providers under formal supervisory authorisation across 33 European countries - the EU's 27 member states plus the additional EEA and associated markets ESMA's regime extends to.

FCA - United Kingdom

Operating consistent with the UK Financial Conduct Authority's regulatory framework for ESG ratings providers, aligned with IOSCO's recommended standards.

MAS - Singapore

Operating under the Monetary Authority of Singapore's Code of Conduct for ESG ratings and data product providers.

SFC - Hong Kong

Operating under the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission's Code of Conduct for ESG ratings and data product providers.

FSA - Japan

Operating under Japan's Financial Services Agency Code of Conduct for ESG Evaluation and Data Providers.

Disclosure framework alignment

Every major framework, mapped to the same underlying data.

Enterprise Sustainability maps a single measurement set to each of these frameworks - so meeting one doesn't mean starting over for the next.

IFRS S1 & S2

The ISSB's global baseline for sustainability and climate-related financial disclosure, increasingly adopted or referenced by national regulators worldwide.

GRI Standards

The most widely used voluntary sustainability reporting standards globally, with a strong emphasis on stakeholder and impact materiality.

CSRD & ESRS

The EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and its European Sustainability Reporting Standards, requiring detailed, assured disclosure from a growing scope of companies operating in the EU.

TCFD

The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures framework - now largely folded into IFRS S2, but still widely referenced by name across regulatory regimes.

TNFD

The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures - extending the TCFD approach to nature and biodiversity dependencies, feeding from the same physical and ecosystem data used in SYNE Climate Risk Management.

BRSR

India's Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting framework, mandated by SEBI for the country's largest listed companies.

ASRS

Australia's Sustainability Reporting Standards, aligning Australian corporate climate disclosure with the ISSB's global baseline.

CDP

The CDP disclosure system for climate, water and forests, widely used by investors and supply-chain partners to assess corporate environmental performance.

SFDR & EU Taxonomy

The EU's Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation and Taxonomy Regulation, which Green Finance and Enterprise Sustainability data support for asset managers and lenders operating in the EU.

SBTi

The Science Based Targets initiative's methodology for setting emissions-reduction targets - the target-setting standard behind SYNE Carbon's science-based pathway design.
