Sustainability Process Certification

As sustainability disclosures become more visible and detailed, organizations face increasing pressure to demonstrate how their environmental and sustainability data is generated and controlled. Investors, customers, and regulators expect more than statements. They want independent confirmation that the underlying processes and systems are structured and reliable.

DEKRA’s Sustainability Process Certification under the SPC Scheme provides independent third party confirmation that sustainability data management processes are transparent, consistent, and robust. Instead of validating a single product claim, certification evaluates the systems and governance structures that support sustainability data and communications.

Strengthen preparedness for sustainability audits and regulatory requirements related to environmental data.

System-based validation:

Confirm that the systems behind your environmental claims are evaluated, not just the statements of individual products.

Our SPC Service at a Glance

As organizations increasingly communicate their environmental performance and sustainability achievements, the expectation for transparency and reliability continues to rise. Purchasers, regulators, and end users require clear evidence that sustainability information is generated and managed through defined, controlled processes. Without an independent assessment, organizations may lack the formal confirmation necessary to show that their internal sustainability data management systems and related procedures meet recognized requirements.

As an accredited Certification Body, DEKRA offers Sustainability Process Certification under the SPC Scheme. This certification verifies the robustness, transparency, and reliability of an organization’s sustainability data management system, as well as its implementation of defined processes, in accordance with the applicable Program and Technical Rules under the TIC Council framework. The focus is on confirming that the systems supporting sustainability information fulfill the certification process requirements.
