Trusted by sustainability innovators
We take sustainability and authenticity seriously. With that in mind, all GBB customers are subject to audits to ensure accuracy and compliance.
The value of your investment in sustainability and ESG should be protected with reliable external assurance and verification of your accomplishments. All organizations certified through GBB are subject to randomized quarterly audits and verification of your claims. Subscribers seeking mandatory verification and/or have specific reporting needs use our strategic partner, Clearyst Advisory, a credible independent body of sustainability professionals who will audit, assess, and verify your reported performance.
Clearyst Advisory will guide you through an efficient process to achieve your objectives for internal and external reporting purposes. The verification process will often lead to further optimization and greater sustainability performance. Clearyst Advisory will help you with:

Yes. GBB has hundreds of initiatives, so even if you already have a robust program, we likely have initiatives you haven't considered. Additionally, you can mark off each initiative you have already completed to get certified for your efforts, share your certification on your website, and get recognition for your accomplishments.
GBB is unlike any other sustainability management software out there–we don’t just assign one-size-fits-all sustainability initiatives. We have hundreds of weighted initiatives with descriptions and steps so you can build a program that works for you and drives real results. We also take it a step further and certify you for your accomplishments.
GBB aligns our initiatives with globally recognized frameworks, standards, science, and industry certifications. Other certifications expect you to already be at a certain level when you begin the process. Our sustainability management software helps you build and manage your program, wherever you are in your journey, and reach goals that will help you qualify for other certifications.
We use a proprietary framework to score each initiative based on unique effort, impact, and investment.
The software is designed to be self-guided; however, we do offer Sustainability Advisory services as a solution add-on. Contact us here if you’re interested in learning more.
Achieving GBB certification is self-paced based on your timeline, resources, goals, and budget.
If you already have a robust sustainability program, it will take less time to get to your desired certification level. If you’re just beginning, it will take more time to build a program and see results.
Your certification is dependent on a self-reporting system, so we trust you to be as authentic and transparent as possible when you mark initiatives as complete. However, we know that discrepancies still can occur. Per the terms and conditions agreed to as part of the sign-up process, all customers are subject to randomized audits. If we see something suspicious, we will reach out and set up an audit to double-check that everything is accurate.
