Sustainability Certification
Simplifying Sustainability Certification. Driving Sustainable Growth
Sustainability certifications are essential for market access, investor confidence, and regulatory compliance. ICE&SDGs provides end-to-end advisory from gap assessment to certification — across environmental, climate, social, and circular economy standards.
Certifications: We Advise & Support
ICE&SDGs provides preparation advisory, gap assessment, documentation support, training, pre-audit review, and ongoing support across every certification below — from initial scoping to final certification achievement.
Environmental Management System (EMS)
The world's most widely adopted environmental management standard — establishing a systematic framework for organisations to identify, manage and continuously reduce their environmental impacts. ICE&SDGs prepares your organisation across all clauses, with sector-specific documentation and training.
✓ Mandatory for many export tenders and government contracts
EMS Implementation Guidelines for SMEs
A phased approach to implementing ISO 14001 — designed specifically for SMEs and organisations new to environmental management. ICE&SDGs advises on the step-by-step implementation pathway, making ISO 14001 accessible for smaller organisations without dedicated sustainability teams.
✓ Ideal entry point for SMEs and MSME supply chains
GHG Accounting & Verification
The international standard for greenhouse gas quantification, monitoring, reporting and verification — forming the foundation of India's CCTS MRV framework. ISO 14064 certification demonstrates the credibility of your GHG inventory to regulators, investors, and carbon market participants.
✓ Foundation of India's CCTS compliance & carbon credit eligibility
Zero Effect Zero Defect Certification
India's government-backed quality and environmental certification for MSMEs — promoting zero defects in production and zero environmental effects. ZED certification is linked to government incentives, preferential procurement, and credit ratings under SIDBI. ICE&SDGs advises on ZED assessment and rating improvement.
✓ Linked to GoI incentives, SIDBI ratings & preferential procurement
Net Zero Pathway & Carbon Neutrality Certification
Verified net-zero and carbon-neutral claims require robust GHG inventories, science-based target setting, and credible carbon offset strategies. ICE&SDGs designs and validates net-zero roadmaps aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and India's 2070 net-zero goal — preparing your organisation for independently verified carbon neutrality claims.
✓ Required for premium market positioning & green finance access
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the gold standard for quantifying the environmental footprint of products, services and processes — from raw material extraction to end-of-life. ICE&SDGs conducts ISO 14040/14044 compliant LCAs and advises organisations on eco-design, product environmental declarations (EPD), and supply chain sustainability optimisation.
✓ Required for Environmental Product Declarations & eco-design

Re-Circulate™®

Re-Circulate™® certifies that an organisation has embedded circular economy principles — resource efficiency, waste elimination, and product lifecycle optimisation — across its operations and supply chain. It is the only India-origin circular economy certification, developed by ICE&SDGs and aligned with global CE frameworks including Ellen MacArthur Foundation principles and EU Circular Economy Action Plan benchmarks.
GreenX™®
The Eco-Leadership Standard
GreenX™® is ICE&SDGs' Eco-Leadership Standard — the world's first sustainability certification designed specifically for film, media, fashion, and hospitality sectors. It measures and certifies an organisation's journey toward climate neutrality, circular resource use, and ESG leadership — covering carbon footprint reduction, sustainable procurement, responsible energy use, and waste elimination across creative sector operations.
Our Certification Approach
ICE&SDGs manages the entire certification journey — from initial gap assessment to final certification achievement — removing complexity and resource burden.
