UNGP's Certification Program
At UNGP, we believe in fostering a world that's actively working towards achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To manifest this vision, we've rolled out an exhaustive certification program that acknowledges and rewards businesses, organizations, and communities that have made strides in integrating SDGs into their operations and initiatives.
Our certification is not merely a seal of approval; it is a testament to an entity's commitment to a more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous world. It grants both a pledge to global progress and a distinct competitive edge in a marketplace that is increasingly value-conscious.
To make the certification process even more tailored and industry-specific, we offer the SDGs Sector Matrix, an interactive tool that allows you to identify which SDGs are most applicable to your sector. This targeted approach ensures that your efforts align closely with global needs, streamlining your journey towards certification.
The program involves a comprehensive evaluation process where we assess an entity's alignment with the SDGs. This includes scrutiny of operational methods, community impact, and overall sustainability initiatives. Entities that meet our rigorous criteria earn our esteemed certification, marking their significant role in driving global betterment.
