This page contains additional information related to the Green Web Foundation provider verification criteria and process. These FAQs are a supplement to What disclosures do you accept for verification which you should read first to familiarise yourself with the current verification criteria.
To illustrate this situation, let us look at three organisations:
- Provider A – your organisation (you want to get verified)
- Provider B – the organisation you purchase hosting services from (they are not verified)
- Provider C- an organisation which Provider B leases data center space from (they are verified)
In this scenario, we would need to see:
- Disclosures that allows us to verify your use of Provider B. This can be in the form of a recent invoice, contract, or similar documents. Sensitive information in these documents can be blacked out.
- Formal disclosures showing a Provider B’s use of Provider C’s facilities. This can be in the form of a company statement, press release, or other type of formal evidence linking the companies. This disclosure should clearly list the facilities and/or regions that are being used.
