How to obtain a sustainability certification?
Sustainability certifications are certificates that certify a company's commitment to ESG issues. They are issued by accredited third parties that verify that the company complies with the certification requirements.
The steps required to obtain certifications can be summarized in:
- awareness of current performance (for example with the calculation of the carbon footprint for the environmental part);
- definition of objectives and improvement actions to be put into practice;
- implementation of requirements: training of resources;
- internal evaluation by the company;
- evaluation by the accredited body for the issuance of the certification;
- issuance of the certificate;
- maintaining and improving performance;
- annual assessment by the body for the maintenance of the certification.
What are the most requested certifications and initiatives?
Here are some of the certifications and initiatives most requested by companies: B Corp, Ecovadis, ISO 14064, SBTi, CDP and Un Global Compact.
What is ISO 14064 certification?
The certification of compliance with ISO 14064 certifies that the calculation of an organization's overall carbon footprint over an annual financial year took place according to the national technical standard UNI EN ISO 14064. An ISO 14064 certification path involves, in addition to the involvement of the entire business ecosystem for the collection of data and metadata, the inclusion of different partners for the processing of technical documentation and for its validation. For this reason, the ISO 14064 certification is able to meet specific regulatory requirements, but it may be less effective for communication purposes or for the initiation of strategic decarbonization paths. It is advisable to undertake this path only to companies that start with an excellent availability of data.
Who issues sustainability certifications?
Sustainability certifications are generally issued by accredited third parties that verify compliance with the requirements established by specific regulations.
How much does a sustainability certification cost?
The cost varies depending on the certification you want to obtain or based on the initiative you want to join. Some certifications require an initial investment by the company that may vary depending on the path it decides to take. Other programs and initiatives are free of charge.
