Our rule, applied to ourselves
What we removed from our pages, and why.
We ask our clients to claim only what they can prove.
Here is what that rule cost us.

In short
Why does STRATA ESG publish its retracted claims?
Because the house asks its clients to claim only what they can prove. Five commercial claims were removed from its pages because the code did not hold them; each one is published here with its date, where it appeared, its reason and its condition for return.
The retracted claims, one by one
Tamper proof evidence
Removed on 1 August 2026Where : European offer grid
Our evidence is hash chained, which makes any later modification detectable. It is not anchored with a third party timestamping service: nobody outside certifies that a document existed on a given date. Detectable is not tamper proof, and the gap between the two is exactly what an auditor comes looking for.
Condition for returnThe day a qualified timestamping provider is active and anchoring actually runs.
More than 200 indicators
Removed on 1 August 2026Where : Home page and sales pitch
The figure came from adding up overlapping lists, the most common way to inflate a counter without quite lying. The real count, taken on 22 August 2026: 136 questions in the voluntary questionnaire, 168 in the CSRD journey, 88 disclosure requirements in the register. None of these numbers is a number of indicators.
Condition for returnIt will not come back. A count of indicators says nothing about the quality of a file.
90 day action plan
Removed on 1 August 2026Where : Description of the analysis deliverable
The engine produces indicative deadlines in a closed vocabulary (immediate, short term, medium term). It produces no 90 day horizon, and it would have no deterministic way to do so without knowing your internal constraints.
Condition for returnThe day the effort and cost of each action are quantified from your file, not from a market average.
Guaranteed SLA
Removed on 1 August 2026Where : Enterprise offer
A service level commitment is a contractual object: it requires a quantified rate, a measurement window, and a penalty if the rate is missed. None of our contracts carried one. Availability is measured and published, which is something else and is said differently.
Condition for returnThe day a contract carries a quantified rate and a penalty. Not before, whatever the actual quality of the service.
Mobile field application
Removed on 7 August 2026Where : Enterprise offer
The application exists and works, but it talks to the product through a single entry point and had not changed since mid July. That is not the level of finish an Enterprise offer line commits to. We stopped selling it before taking it back in hand, rather than the other way round.
Condition for returnThe day it is taken back in hand, or never if we decide not to.
This list is dated and it will grow. It is the only sales argument we actually want to keep.
A rule that does not apply to whoever states it is not a rule.
We ask our clients to claim only what they can prove, and to flag missing data rather than fill it in. This page applies that rule to ourselves. It is dated, precise, and it will grow: that is the condition for it to be worth anything.
