CDP certification
What is CDP certification ?
The AA1000 Certificate is a recognition provided to organizations that follow the AA1000 Series of Standards developed by AccountAbility, a globally respected framework for sustainability, accountability, and stakeholder engagement. It is most commonly linked to the AA1000 Assurance Standard (AA1000AS), which ensures the accuracy, credibility, and transparency of sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting. By obtaining an AA1000 Certificate, an organization demonstrates its commitment to responsible business practices, effective stakeholder engagement, and reliable sustainability disclosures. This certification builds trust with investors, customers, and regulators by assuring that the company’s non-financial reporting meets international standards of accountability and transparency.
