Regime 03 · ESG Governance & Greenwashing-RiskDefensible governance architecture and claim-substantiation discipline for boards, investors and ESG teams — built so that every public claim can be evidenced, and every investor question can be answered.
Governance architecture, a claims-substantiation discipline and an investor-ready due-diligence screen — the three layers that turn ESG intent into defensible position.
ESG policy, charter and board terms-of-reference templates establishing who owns ESG, how it is overseen, and how decisions are recorded.
An evidence register linking every public claim to its supporting proof, with a red-flag language guide drawn from UK and EU guidance.
A scored screen testing claims against substantiation, specificity and verifiability — flagging exposure before publication.
A due-diligence questionnaire and scoring matrix for investors and DFIs assessing ESG quality and greenwashing risk across a portfolio.
A governance-gate and minutes template recording the board's review and approval of material ESG claims and disclosures.
An ESG KPI framework and risk register translating commitments into trackable, board-visible metrics.
Landmark provides the governance and evidence layer; formal legal opinions and litigation-risk advice are delivered by regulated counsel under separate engagement.
Each tier escalates toward a confidential ESG governance review and, where useful, an ongoing advisory relationship.
For teams reviewing public claims.
The full governance & screening system.
Pack plus a confidential governance review.
The risk in ESG is no longer doing too little. It's claiming too much.
Regulators and investors are testing public sustainability claims against the evidence behind them. A claim you cannot substantiate is now a liability, not a marketing asset.
This toolkit gives boards a governance gate, teams an evidence register, and investors a due-diligence screen — so every claim is defensible and every investor question has an answer. Designed to prevent the greenwashing exposure before it forms.

"A green claim you can't evidence isn't marketing.
It's a regulatory and reputational liability sitting on your board's desk.
The fix isn't fewer claims. It's a governance gate, an evidence register and a substantiation discipline behind each one.
I've packaged exactly that. Free greenwashing-risk checklist in the comments. →"
Twelve tests every public sustainability claim should pass before it is published. The fastest way to find your exposure — and the first step into the toolkit.
