How does a company get certified with Biosphere? Step-by-step process

Forget endless questionnaires, spreadsheets, or processes you don't understand. Here you will find clarity, autonomy, and a platform designed to help you complete the process individually, or by inviting as many people as you need to work on it.

1. Sign up for free

Register your user, create your company profile with no obligation and get free access to the Biosphere "Starters"; a catalogue of basic sustainability initiatives designed to help your type of company start our certification process.

2. Start the process

Select at least one activity from each Starter, upload the evidence and show how you do it in your company (photos, invoices, videos…). We will help you easily identify the type of documents you need to provide to demonstrate each effort.

3. Obtain your initial recognition

With those first evidenced activities, request your online assessment and obtain the Biosphere Committed membership. To receive the assessment, you must first have completed your subscription.

4. Get full access and get certified

Explore the full catalogue and keep adding activities that connect you with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Meet our minimum criteria and request the 100% online audit so as to get your Biosphere Certified status.

🕐 The entire process can be completed in less than 3 months, but you set the pace.
