a) verifiable valid certificates that are consistently provided to UDB by Voluntary schemes, National schemes & Certification bodies;
b) self declaration by economic operators using Digital identifier on UDB using Proof of Sustainability (PoS) identifiers;
GHG Emissions and other information as required by regulation will be available on PoS.

- Integration with MS existing database
- Access options for Economic Operators
