Summary of Role

About the Certification Programme

  • Anthesis' office in the Netherlands (previously operating as the Climate Neutral Group) has developed the Climate Neutral Certification Programme. The Programme went live on the 1st of January 2021 and has since then grown rapidly. With over 60 mio certified products sold annually to consumers in 14 countries, the Programme is creating real impact.

We put the bar high:

we require our certified clients to make substantial GHG emission reductions every year in line with the Paris Agreement, and what cannot be reduced yet shall be to compensated with the most credible offsets.

Certified clients need to go public with their obliged targets and need to report how they have achieved and intend to achieve the targeted reductions.

And, all of this is all verified through 3rd party audits by (proxy) accredited Certification Bodies (CBs).

For more information on the Programme, see here.- With this Certification Programme, we have acquired 'Topkeurmerk' (Toplabel) status in the Netherlands, and we were endorsed by ISEAL, the overarching organisation overseeing certification schemes, requiring us to implement the ISEAL Codes of Good Practise.- Continuous reflection and improvement are core to our Programme and the impact we wish to make.

We continuously build capacity and provide internal support to our Client Managers and Consultants, and we have set up an extensive Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning System as well as a CB Support & Oversight System.

An Advisory Committee composed of external stakeholder representatives, as well as an internal Content Standardization Committee have been appointed to oversee consistent implementation of the Programme.

In addition, the Certification Team is developing an additional Programme on Insetting to help (certified) clients achieve their reduction targets.- With the continuously changing Voluntary Carbon Market in which we operate, and with major upcoming changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate (a.o.

the (draft) Green Claims Directive and Empowering Consumer Directive) the Programme is up for content revision in 2024/25, also to explore and facilitate new upscale opportunities via the global Anthesis network and client portfolio.

We have made a first start already, with a full rebranding of the Certification Programme, including a new name, logo and trademark, narratives, claims, website, marketing material, etc becoming operational in Summer 2024.
