OUR STORY
From vision to impact
SustainCERT is a spin off from the Gold Standard Foundation and was created in 2018 with one ambition: to mainstream credible climate and SDG impact accounting and certification.
Mainstreaming best practice impact certification is essential to accelerate progress towards our collective climate and sustainability goals. It is no longer sufficient to claim to do good. SustainCERT’s role is to create trust that real and meaningful progress is achieved towards the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement.

Create a race to the top to mainstream best practice
Traditional impact accounting and certification solutions are complex, require significant resources and often fail to bring value to their users. At SustainCERT, we leverage technology, user-centricity and innovation to transform the way impact assessment is done. Our work is designed to break barriers to mass adoption and make best practice impact accounting and certification accessible, affordable, desirable.
Accessible
We focus on product innovation and capacity building to increase understanding of certification requirements and bring best practice solutions to as many users, in as many markets as possible.
Affordable
We leverage technology and the power of digitization to save time, reduce complexity and lower the costs of certification without sacrificing accuracy or rigour.
Desirable
We work with benchmark standards and internationally recognized frameworks to provide maximum credibility and increase positive return on investment for businesses and investors.
