In the first call, we get to know your business and clarify the key questions: Where are you today? What goals are you pursuing? And most importantly: does certification make sense right now?<\/p>\n
Together, we review which certifications are generally suitable and provide an honest assessment of effort, timeline, and feasibility. After the call, you\u2019ll know exactly whether \u2014 and how \u2014 the path to a sustainability label can look.<\/p>\n
\n
2. Check & analysis \u2013 the foundation for everything that follows<\/strong><\/p>\n
During the analysis phase, we take a structured look at your business. We review existing measures, processes, and documents against the relevant criteria of the chosen label.<\/p>\n
We identify strengths, gaps, and areas for action. The result is a clear strategy with priorities, concrete measures, and a realistic timeline \u2014 aligned with your day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n
\n
3. Implementation \u2013 support within day-to-day operations<\/strong><\/p>\n
Now the real work begins. We support you step by step in implementing the required measures and remain available at any time \u2014 by phone, digitally, or on site.<\/p>\n
In parallel, we build the full documentation and evidence trail. This is created either by us or together with your team \u2014 clear, audit-ready, and practical. The goal is to integrate sustainability in a meaningful way, not to create additional bureaucracy.<\/p>\n
Before the audit, we run a final quality check. We review all documents, prepare your team in a targeted way, and resolve any open points.<\/p>\n
The audit itself is carried out by an official certification body. We accompany the process, support you with questions, and assist with any follow-up submissions or so-called preconditions \u2014 until the procedure is complete.<\/p>\n
\n
5. Timeline overview<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
The duration of the certification process depends on the chosen label and your company\u2019s starting point. Important: the actual workload and the overall process duration are not the same. Audit appointments may require waiting several months.<\/p>\n
Simpler certifications can usually be completed within 2\u20134 months<\/strong>. The active implementation and documentation phase typically takes 1\u20133 months<\/strong>, while the remaining time is for audit preparation and waiting periods.<\/p>\n
More comprehensive, internationally recognized certifications require significantly more preparation. Here, the overall process usually takes 6\u201312 months<\/strong>, with active support covering about 3\u20136 months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
From the outset, we plan the timeline realistically and transparently \u2014 aligned with your business, your team, and day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n
\n
The result<\/h3>\n
Your business receives the sustainability label \u2014 and at the same time gains a structured, traceable, and lived sustainability strategy that delivers long-term impact.<\/p>\n
