+Questions
Which route is right for me?
Buy certificates for a Water Positive or Water Stewardship commitment, use a performance contract to pay a solution on results, or use verified performance to finance water resilience projects.
What is the difference between a WRC and a performance attestation?
A WRC records a verified volume you can claim. A performance attestation proves the result of a contract and triggers payment.
Do all routes use the same verification?
Yes. The same protocols and the same accredited verification apply to every route.
Does Veracity sell certificates?
Never. Veracity does not sell or broker certificates, and its fees do not depend on volume.
Can a bank use the data in a financing decision?
Yes. Funders get verified operational, environmental and climate performance, project by project or across a portfolio.
