On the other hand however, this is also related to the fact that there are very few, if any, eligible institutions that propose this service; and hardly any uniformed standards, or at least widely accepted guidelines for the third-party institutions to follow when they intend to be engaged in sustainability report verification.
Another similarity is that, whereas both firms have claimed having established an internal social responsibility management system (Liuhe, 2014; Beidahuang, 2013), none of their sustainability reports has passed third-party verification.
A major issue in this regard is the inter-dependencies of the non-computing processes on the computing components and vice versa, and the verification of the CPSs' sustainability without real deployment.
However, the verification of long-term sustainability of achieved effects is missing so far.

Definitive verification of the model and its sustainability will require prospective, randomised controlled studies.
Sustainability requires ethical grounding first and foremost, then scientific verification and economic viability.
Though it still relies on local partners to visit farms and confirm that sustainability standards are being followed, its technology enables Enveritas to provide verification services for free to farmers.
Thoroughly elaborated regulations on control mechanisms and their components, such as monitoring, reporting, verification, and transparency, should be included into legal frameworks and voluntary sustainability standards.
Part of the reason is because many verification solutions rely on field workers who visit farms and track sustainability standards using pen and paper, a time-consuming and costly process.
