Environmental claims depend on measurements, methods, and people’s assessments. Truthlocks helps keep those references attached to a report so reviewers can examine the underlying evidence.

## Environmental monitoring: Trace a published measurement report

A chart may circulate without the dataset or method version that produced it.

### What to record

Record dataset and report fingerprints, measurement-source references, method version, and the responsible reviewer’s approval.

### What to review

Check the published report against the signed version and examine the measurement method through your established assessment process.

### The outcome

A report with a visible connection to the evidence its author used.

## Waste & recycling: Document a recorded material transfer

Operators receive transfer records from several partners using incompatible formats.

### What to record

Create a signed record of declared material, transfer reference, responsible source, and related weighbridge or inspection document fingerprints.

### What to review

Compare partner records and investigate conflicting quantities using the original operational evidence.

### The outcome

A consistent record for reviewing reported transfers across partners.

## Sustainability advisory: Keep disclosures tied to reviewed evidence

A sustainability statement can outlive the source figures or assessment that supported it.

### What to record

Link the disclosure fingerprint to its reporting period, source-document manifest, methodology reference, and review outcome.

### What to review

Check the version shared with stakeholders and independently evaluate the underlying measurements and claims.

### The outcome

A traceable disclosure package that makes questions about its basis easier to answer.

## Before you begin

Identify trusted measurement sources and review methods before issuing records. A signed statement supports traceability; independent validation of its claims remains necessary.
