Standards & Certifications

Sustainability is not just a buzzword, but a fundamental aspect of responsible business practices. Standards and certifications play a crucial role in guiding organizations towards sustainable operations and ensuring that their efforts are recognized and validated.

At Adelie, we specialize in helping businesses navigate the complex landscape of sustainability standards and certifications, enabling them to achieve their environmental goals while enhancing their brand reputation.

B Corp

Unlock your business' full potential while making a positive impact—partner with our B Corp Consultant Experts today.

  • Certified B Corps endeavour to do business differently which ultimately brings together purpose and profit. There are now over 9000 B Corps globally. However it is not just a certification and the holistic framework is used by over 250,000 businesses globally to measure and improve their impact.

  • Whether it is to help build a robust sustainability strategy, benchmark against competitors or simply having your positive impact recognised. B Corp is the certification of choice for a growing number of businesses.

    We have experience in taking some of the most complex companies through the assessment to certification, covering a range of industries including financial services; manufacturing; consumer goods; financial services; textile; and hospitality.

    To assist our clients through the process, we are able to provide expert support on climate, policy, strategy and communication. 

EcoVadis

Boost your sustainability score and enhance your corporate reputation - let us guide you through the EcoVadis assessment for lasting positive change.

  • EcoVadis certification not only highlights a company's commitment to sustainable practices but also enhances its credibility and reputation among customers and stakeholders, enabling better collaboration and improved supply chain transparency.

  • We provide comprehensive support to clients looking to navigate the EcoVadis assessment process effectively. Our team can help organisations understand the EcoVadis framework and the specific criteria evaluated, which include environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics.

    By conducting thorough assessments of clients' current practices and identifying gaps relative to EcoVadis standards, we can lay the groundwork for improved sustainability performance and reporting.

    We also assist in developing tailored action plans that address identified shortcomings and enhance overall sustainability practices. This may involve implementing best practices, creating effective policies, and fostering employee engagement around sustainability initiatives.

CDP Reporting

Transform your environmental impact into a competitive advantage - partner with us to excel in your CDP reporting and sustainability journey.

  • CDP assesses and rates companies based on various criteria, including their greenhouse gas emissions, climate-related risks, water management, and deforestation strategies.

    Organisations that successfully disclose this information through CDP and receive high scores demonstrate transparency and a strong commitment to sustainability and climate action.

  • Overall, CDP serves as a vital tool for fostering corporate accountability and advancing the global agenda for sustainability and climate action.

    We can support organizations in effectively participating in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) by providing expert guidance on data collection and reporting. With extensive knowledge of industry standards and best practices, Adelie can assist clients in identifying key performance indicators relevant to their operations.

    By implementing robust data management systems and ensuring accurate reporting processes, Adelie helps organisations compile the necessary information to meet CDP requirements and enhance the reliability of their submissions.

SBTi

Join the race to Net-Zero by aligning your goals with science - partner with us for expert guidance on setting and achieving your SBTi standards.

  • SBTi helps confirm that a company's greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets are in line with the latest climate science and aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

  • We support clients in setting science-based targets (SBTs) that align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) framework. Our team helps organisations understand the requirements for establishing credible targets that limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius.

    By analysing clients' current emissions and operational data, we facilitate the development of achievable targets tailored to their specific contexts.

    In addition to target-setting, we assists clients in creating action plans to achieve their SBTs by identifying key areas for emissions reductions and implementing best practices.

    We provide tools and resources for monitoring progress, ensuring organizations remain accountable and on track. Our expertise in sustainability metrics allows clients to transparently communicate their progress to stakeholders.
