A climate certification is a verified recognition that your organization has measured, reduced, and reported its greenhouse gas emissions according to international standards. It helps build trust with clients, investors, and regulators — and opens doors to climate finance.

Any organization — from startups to large corporations, NGOs, and public institutions — can apply for certification. We offer tailored tracks depending on your size, sector, and current climate maturity level.

The process typically takes between 4 to 12 weeks depending on the complexity of your operations and how prepared your data is. Our team guides you through every step to make it as efficient as possible.

Yes. Certifications are valid for 12 months and require annual renewal. This ensures your climate commitments remain current, credible, and aligned with evolving international standards.

Our certification framework is aligned with GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and the Paris Agreement goals. We stay updated with the latest IPCC guidelines and regulatory requirements.

Verified climate credentials are increasingly required in procurement processes, ESG due diligence, and green finance applications. Certified organizations report stronger stakeholder trust and preferential access to green bonds and climate funds.

Pricing depends on your organization's size and scope. We offer flexible plans for startups, SMEs, and enterprises. Special rates are available for NGOs and mission-driven organizations. Contact us for a tailored quote.
