In this episode of Smart Freight Conversations: The Leadership Series, we sit down with Patricia Pinilla, Sustainability Initiatives Director at Normec Verifavia, to explore the real-world value of independent verification in the logistics decarbonization journey. 

Key topics covered in the conversation include:

What role does verification play in decarbonization?

Normec Verifavia, an approved verifier for Smart Freight Centre’s Market-Based Measures (MBM) framework, builds on a long background in regulatory verification to now offer voluntary assurance services. The Smart Freight Centre approval provides a clear framework, tools, and training, strengthening the company’s ability to deliver credible and consistent emissions verification for clients across the logistics sector. 

What does this look like in practice? 

Patricia explains how Normec Verifavia acts as a bridge between Smart Freight Centre frameworks and the companies applying them. The team helps clients understand and correctly apply MBM requirements, prepare data and monitoring plans, and ensure their emissions reporting is accurate and aligned with guidance. 

Why does this matter? 

Independent verification increases confidence and accountability across supply chains. It helps carriers, logistics providers, and shippers demonstrate that their climate actions are transparent, credible, and backed by evidence.
