Certification Support

Aclymate certifications, third-party readiness, evidence, and responsible claims support.

Aclymate’s current public certification path includes Climate Wise, Climate Leader, and Net Zero.

Climate Wise is the foundational recognition for companies establishing credible carbon accounting and readiness. Climate Leader represents more advanced progress and action. Net Zero is the highest-level path for companies pursuing a documented long-term climate commitment. Requirements and badge usage should always be taken from the current certification methodology and published program terms.

Climate Wise is Aclymate’s starter-level certification for businesses that are getting smart about climate action and taking the first steps on their climate journey.

The current certification page positions Climate Wise as the first level in Aclymate’s three-level Climate Certification Program. It should recognize early, measurable action without implying that the company has completed its climate journey. Final eligibility, any Bronze or Silver tier treatment, validity period, verification-page requirements, and badge usage must follow the current certification methodology and terms.

Climate Leader recognizes businesses that are setting and meeting yearly emissions-reduction goals and offsetting what cannot be reduced each year.

The current certification page identifies Climate Leader as the middle level of Aclymate’s program and references Gold, Platinum, and Diamond visuals if still current. Because badge tiers and detailed criteria may change, the public answer should link to the current methodology and avoid adding requirements that are not formally documented.

Net Zero is Aclymate’s highest-level certification for companies committed to reducing business emissions and progressing toward Net Zero.

The current certification page connects Net Zero certification to footprint measurement, reduction planning, action, treatment of remaining emissions where appropriate, documentation, and proof. Net Zero claims require careful scope, boundary, year, and condition language. Customers must use the exact current certification terms and should obtain legal review for consequential public claims.

Yes. Aclymate helps organize data, documents, evidence, reports, and improvement work for programs such as EcoVadis, CDP, B Corp, GRI, SBTi, SASB, ISSB, CSRD-related requests, Green Business Benchmark, and ISO-oriented workflows.

Support varies by framework, customer readiness, data quality, and plan. Aclymate can help prepare the environmental and emissions foundation, organize evidence, interpret questions, and create response materials. The external organization controls its own scoring, validation, certification, or acceptance process.

No. Aclymate can improve readiness and help build a stronger evidence-backed submission, but it cannot guarantee the decision of an independent certification, ratings, or disclosure organization.

Scores and approvals depend on the framework’s criteria, the company’s practices, available evidence, reviewer judgment, and changes to external methodology. Public FAQ language should distinguish Aclymate’s own certification program from support for third-party programs. It should also avoid describing readiness support as assurance, legal compliance, or guaranteed acceptance.

Under the current MSA, a customer may display an Aclymate certification only while it remains valid and in good standing or during the agreement term, whichever is shorter.

Digital display must link to the verification reference page provided by the platform, and badge use must follow current brand guidelines. Customers should remove expired, revoked, or no-longer-supported badges promptly.

Yes. The current MSA allows Aclymate to revoke a certification if customer attestations are inaccurate or continued display would be misleading.

After notice of revocation, the customer must stop displaying the certification within the period stated in the agreement. This control is intended to protect program credibility and reduce greenwashing risk. The signed agreement and current certification terms control.
