Certification initiatives

The following initiatives have very different structures, goals and approaches to certification. This reflects their very different contexts – in terms of industry, geography, and socio-economic background.

What they have in common is their use of a Collective Action approach to help build trust between stakeholders and find transparent solutions that work for everyone.

Practitioners can take inspiration, keeping in mind their own context.
