You can get accredited as a responsible business, club, centre or organisation
Sign up to register your interest and begin the process. Let us know a little bit about who you are - for example whether you are an individual, a business, a club, a centre, an organisation. This way we will know what relevant information to share with you as we guide you through becoming accredited.
Complete the self-audit. You can download it or complete it online immediately after signing up. In this step, please include any extra processes / items / materials you use in your day to day. Our accreditation list isn't exhaustive, rather it is based on a set of criteria and indicators that cover various categories across industries, focusing on those we have, so far, found useful, common and most impactful to change. Naturally, we will evolve with your inputs, feedback and changing legislations over time.
Begin with the bronze award for the categories that are pertinent to you.
After completing the questions, we will ask you to provide evidence in the form of photos, receipts, purchase orders.
You may well find you have more single-use-plastic items you have removed or behaviours that you want to tell us about. We'd love to know and will proudly shout about the successes for you. Your actions and insights may well be the spark that ignites change in another organisation.
Once you have submitted documentation, we will review and be in touch with results. If successful, your accreditation award resources will be made available. You'll be invited to progress to the next tier of the accreditation and welcomed with open-arms in to a brilliant network of like-minded others' who are striving to deliver lasting change and impact too.
Prepare a short quote to accompany your press / social media about your accreditation. We will add you to our website. Enjoy the assets and materials we share with you. Spread the word and let us know what more we can achieve together as you plan to tackle the next hurdles in achieving the subsequent tier.
