For Legal & Compliance

Every claim governed before it reaches your desk.

A structured governance trail for every environmental claim. Risk signals grounded in current regulations. Evidence linked, not assumed.

The challenge

You are the last line of defence before a claim goes public

Claims arrive without context

Marketing sends you a sustainability claim to approve, but there is no structured evidence, no regulatory mapping, and no record of who drafted it or what substantiation exists. You are reviewing claims in email threads and shared drives.

Regulatory exposure is invisible

Your enterprise makes environmental claims across multiple jurisdictions. You do not have a single view of which claims trigger which regulations, what the enforcement precedent looks like, or where your evidence gaps are.

The audit trail is manual

When a regulator or verifier asks how a specific claim was approved, you are reconstructing the governance history from emails, meeting notes, and memory. There is no permanent, exportable record.

How Verdanox helps

Governance infrastructure, not compliance advice

Regulatory risk signals per claim

Every claim is assessed against applicable regulations in every target jurisdiction. Risk signals surface where claims conflict with current requirements. Grounded in enforcement outcomes, not opinions.

Permanent audit trail

Every action on every claim is logged with identity, timestamp, and rationale. Who created it, who reviewed it, who approved it, what evidence was linked, and what risk signals were present at the time of each decision.

Evidence linking and tracking

Certificates, LCA reports, and supplier declarations are linked directly to the claims they substantiate. When a certificate expires, affected claims are flagged automatically.

Multi-role approval workflows

Route claims through configurable review gates. Define which roles must approve before publication. Every approval is logged permanently. Each stage is fully configurable to match your existing workflows.

In practice

How a claim moves through governance

A marketing team in Germany drafts a claim for a new product line. Here is what the General Counsel sees at each stage.

1

Claim enters governance

Marketing creates the claim in the Claims Register with jurisdiction (EU, UK), channel (website, packaging), and product line attached. The claim enters the governance workflow automatically.

2

Evidence is linked

The sustainability team links GOTS Certificate #4028 and a chain of custody report to the claim. Evidence completeness shows 67%. A packaging LCA report is still outstanding.

3

Risk signals surface

The platform flags a scope mismatch: the claim asserts collection-level certification, but linked evidence covers material sourcing only. Risk score: 42/100. Applicable frameworks: ECGT claim-scope analysis and CMA Principle 3.

4

Legal reviews with full context

You open the claim and see the evidence, the risk signals, and the regulatory context in one view. You request the missing LCA report before approving. Your decision and rationale are logged permanently.

5

Verification-ready export

Once approved, the claim, linked evidence, regulatory assessment, approval chain, and full audit trail are exported as a verification package for your next SGS, TUV, or Bureau Veritas audit cycle.

Regulatory context

The regulations that matter for your team

EU

ECGT Directive

Restricts generic environmental claims without recognised excellent environmental performance and bans product climate-neutrality claims based on offsetting. Applies from 27 September 2026.

UK

CMA Green Claims Code

Six CMA principles apply to environmental claims under UK consumer law across marketing channels, backed by active investigations and stronger DMCC enforcement powers.

US

FTC Green Guides

FTC Green Guides remain under review, while state statutes and attorney general actions add separate layers of risk, especially around recyclability and broad net-zero messaging.
