Job Description

ABOUT THE POSITION

Founded in 2018, SustainCERT offers simple, tech-driven solutions for verifying impacts in climate protection, supply chains, and investment products. We are the official certification body for Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG), the most credible and robust climate standard, historically known for its work in carbon markets. SustainCERT’s mandate is to mainstream the credible verification of impacts across our three core markets: environmental markets (carbon and renewable energy markets), corporate sustainability reporting (Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas), and sustainable finance. We do so by scaling adoption of verification and certification to the highest standards across these markets and by launching innovative impact verification solutions that respond to pressing market needs.

In collaboration with Gold Standard Foundation, SustainCERT launched the Value Change Program to support the development and stakeholder engagements needed to launch a best-practice benchmark framework for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Scope 3 accounting, in particular, for direct interventions aimed at lowering the emissions of purchased goods and services in corporate value chains. SustainCERT now offers trajectories to verify and certify impacts achieved by corporates in their value chains, in line with requirements to integrate these back to corporate level footprints, claims and (Science-based) targets.
