A 360° vision of CSR

Convinced that a documentary evaluation is not enough to prove an organisation's commitment, the Positive Company® certification process requires its main stakeholders to be questioned anonymously. 

Employees, customers and suppliers are all involved, and can testify to a brand's commitment as well as suggesting improvements.

The certification program takes 3 months. The certification is valid for 3 years and requires an intermediate audit.

Aligned with international standards

The standards are based on 5 themes inspired by the 7 pillars of ISO 26000, the GRI and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and constantly reviewed.

These standards impose strong regulatory constraints, imply a greater diversity of stakeholders and require reporting to be verified by an independent third party.

FAQs

There is only one other generalist certification: the American B Corp label. What makes Positive Company® unique is that we interview stakeholders, because we are convinced that a simple assessment based solely on documentary evidence is not enough to prove an organisation's commitment. Finally, the process is fast, typically 2-3 months, and affordable even for small organisations.

The entire program is spread over a maximum of 3 months. The project is managed by Positive Company® and the methodology is designed to keep working hours to a manageable level. Depending on the size of the company and the capacity of the teams to aggregate data and documents, you will need between 3 and 9 FTE days. 

The Positive Company® certification is based on European and national regulations. It is also based on international CSR and sustainable development standards: ISO 26000SDGs, CSRD and GRI.

Once the certification has been awarded, an official document is issued, valid for a maximum of 18 months. It must be renewed between 12 and 18 months at the latest after the date on which it was first obtained, for a further 18 months.

Ça fait 7 ans que j'exerce ce métier et j'ai eu des candidatures depuis 2 mois (après la labellisation) que je n'avais jamais eu en 7 ans. Des profils très expérimentés, des personnes que je n'arrivais pas à attirer jusqu'à maintenant, qui sont venues car elles ont vu : "les valeurs que vous portez, le projet d'entreprise nous parle...". Et ça ce sont des effets réels (de la labellisation) et je ne m'y attendais pas du tout.
