Customers, investors and public contracting authorities are increasingly asking for external validation. Examples include an EcoVadis score in a tender, a B Corp certificate, an ISO standard as operational evidence or a score in a sustainability rating such as Sustainalytics or MSCI.

Without support, these processes are time-consuming and the risk of a disappointing result is greater.

An assessment also provides an objective benchmark: how do you compare with your peers and where are the greatest opportunities for improvement?

We work in four steps:

‍

1. Baseline assessment and gap analysis – Where do you stand today against the requirements of the chosen standard, framework or ranking methodology? Which gaps should you tackle first?
2. Process support – We help you prepare your documentation, evidence and processes in line with the standard or framework.
3. Support during the assessment – We guide you through the audit or evaluation itself, including when you answer auditors’ questions.
4. Follow-up and improvement – After certification, we draw up an improvement plan to maintain and strengthen your score or certificate.

• Data management, ESG architecture and KPI-based management – The data foundation that assessments rely on and that allows you to monitor your performance in a structured way.
• Sustainability strategy and roadmap – Link the results of your assessment to your broader sustainability ambitions.
• Green claims and the EmpCo Directive – Avoid greenwashing and misleading environmental claims in your communication.

A certification or assessment often plays an important role in customer relationships and tenders. We guide you through the entire process – from the initial scan to maintaining or improving your certificate or score.
