Certifications & Standards
Getting Certified Without Losing Six Months to the Paperwork
Certification is a Process, Not a Form
B Corp, GOTS, GRS, OCS and OEKO-TEX® all open doors - with retailers & wholesale partners, with customers, with your own supply chain. But the application, evidence-gathering and audit-prep process is where many brands can get stuck, especially the first time round, or when a standard updates (like B Corp's move to its new standards).
“Certification isn’t a badge you buy. It’s a standard you prove you can meet and maintain.”
We're not a certifying body ourselves. GOTS, GRS, OCS and OEKO-TEX® certificates are issued by independent accredited certification bodies, and B Corp certification is issued by B Lab following 3rd party verification audits. What we do is get you ready for them: gathering the right evidence, closing the gaps before the assessor finds them, and managing the process so it doesn't consume your team for months.
Different Standards, Different Kinds of Help
Application & Audit Support
Managing the application process and preparing you for the assessor's audit, so there are no surprises on the day.
Recertification & Standard Updates
Keeping existing certifications current, and adapting your evidence and processes when a standard is updated.
Choosing the Right Standard
Not every certification suits every brand. We help you work out which standards are actually relevant to your products and market, before you spend time and money pursuing the wrong one.
Certification Readiness Assessments
Reviewing your current practices, supply chain and documentation against the standard you're targeting, so you know exactly what's missing before you apply.
Evidence Gathering & Documentation
Pulling together the policies, records and supply chain data most standards ask for - much of which overlaps with the manuals and policies we already build for clients.
From gap analysis and policy development to collating Scope 1-3 emissions data, mapping supply chains, and writing Human Rights and Environmental Impact Assessments, we support your team through full B Corp preparation, submission, and beyond.
