Verifications, validations, trainings and regulatory advisory — delivered by accredited auditors who know your industry inside out.
Minerva delivers the verifications, validations and trainings that brands and accreditation bodies trust — together with the regulatory advisory work that keeps your business ahead of EU and global market access rules. Every engagement is led by certified auditors and grounded in evidence, not opinion.
Below are our six core service lines. Each can be delivered as a stand-alone engagement or combined into a multi-year sustainability programme tailored to your sourcing footprint.
Six accredited service areas — choose individually, or combine into a programme.
On-site verification of facility environmental performance against the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) — the textile industry's most widely adopted assessment for water, energy, chemicals, waste and air emissions.
→ Brand-recognised, third-party verified Higg FEM score published on the Worldly platform.
ACCREDITED VERIFIER BODY
Full-spectrum ZDHC support — from wastewater testing and MRSL conformance to chemical inventory transparency and ZDHC Academy training delivery.
→ Verified ZDHC performance level (Foundational / Progressive / Aspirational) accepted by major brands.
APPROVED SOLUTION PROVIDER
Environmental Impact Measuring (EIM) verification specifically for denim wash and finishing operations — quantifying water, energy, chemistry and worker health impact of every garment process.
→ Documented EIM scores brands trust for sustainability claims on denim collections.
EIM VERIFIER — JEANOLOGIA
Independent validation of Facility Data Module (FDM) submissions on the Worldly platform — separate from Higg FEM verification and increasingly required by brand sourcing programmes.
→ Validated FDM submission accepted by Worldly-using brands for sourcing decisions.
APPROVED VALIDATION BODY
Corporate carbon footprint quantification across Scope 1, 2 and 3 — prepared in line with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, and structured for CSRD, CDP and customer-scorecard reporting.
→ Audit-ready GHG inventory that satisfies brand, regulator and investor expectations.
GHG PROTOCOL & ISO 14064 ALIGNED
Strategic advisory on the EU regulatory wave shaping textile sourcing — from the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and Digital Product Passport (DPP) to CSRD, CSDDD and the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles.
