do you verify or certify whether my answers are correct

We confirm nothing, you confirm yourself

No. Supplia does not check whether an answer is correct, and does not certify anything. The system fills in an answer from your supply chain file — for example the answer to whether the undertaking is ISO 9001-certified or to which countries have locations — and you then give your own yes or no. That confirmation is your statement, not ours. There is no certification mark, no score and no assessment connected to your name or your answers. We do not review the questionnaire and do not log in to your customer's portal; you submit yourself.

That also means: if a question refers to an external standard — the basic module of EFRAG VSME, the ten measures of Article 21(2) of Directive (EU) 2022/2555 (NIS2), or the control measures of Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001 — then Supplia does not verify that you comply with them. The system recognises the question and retrieves the corresponding answer from your file. Whether that answer is substantively correct remains your own responsibility and that of the customer requesting it.

No role as a certifying body provided

This does not follow from a single article, but from the design of the platform itself: Supplia is the answer side of the supply chain, not the control side. The regulations that appear in the questionnaires — the Commercial Register Act 2007 for business data, Directive (EU) 2022/2464 (CSRD) for sustainability reporting, Directive (EU) 2022/2555 (NIS2) for cybersecurity — do not themselves assign a role to an intermediary that approves answers. Certification, where applicable, is carried out by a notified certifying body or by the customer assessing the questionnaire, never by the system that helps complete the questionnaire. Anyone who wants to be sure whether an answer complies with a standard should consult that standard itself or the body responsible for it.

This answer applies to any type of questionnaire, not only to your customer's sustainability questions, answered. The full explanation — with the sources, country-specific details and related topics — is on the umbrella site.
