TRANSFORM YOUR SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES WITH BUREAU VERITAS CIRCULAR+

Today’s businesses are rethinking their sustainability strategies, and shifting focus from reducing environmental impacts, toward a circular economy business model. This is a renewable energy-powered model of production and consumption that requires companies to rework their linear business models and embrace a closed-loop system for resources and products.

Bureau Veritas Circular+ offers a comprehensive suite of sustainability services to help companies set ambitious objectives, including a circular business model. Through independent auditing, certification, and verification, companies can tackle individual processes or their entire business model, and transform their sustainability practices at their own pace.

LEARN ABOUT ALL OF OUR SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS SO YOUR BUSINESS CAN ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST ETHICAL STANDARDS

ISO 50001 Energy Management System Certification

As environmental needs to lower carbon emissions mount, companies are facing a turning point in energy management. ISO 50001 is a global certification standard that helps companies monitor, manage, and reduce their energy consumption. With ISO 50001, you can work to minimise your environmental impact, and put energy efficiency at the heart of your sustainability strategy.

Biofuels Certification

Companies can take advantage of renewable, low-carbon energy sources by meeting sustainable biofuels and biomass requirements. Several voluntary biofuels certification schemes – including 2BSvs, ISCC EU, ISCC, RedCert EU, RED 2 Directive, KZR INiG – help companies comply with EU directives. With certification from Bureau Veritas on biofuels management and biomass management schemes, you can access financial incentives and additional international biofuels markets.

Sustainable Forestry Certification

Adopting sustainable timber sourcing practices for forest management and throughout chain of custody is key to preventing deforestation. Certification from us on a range of standards, including EUTR, PEFC®, OLB, FSC® and SFI, can help you prove you’ve done your due diligence on sustainable forestry practices for timber products.

The delivery of FSC® certification services is in association with Bureau Veritas Certification Holding SAS.

Metals and Minerals Certification

Metal and minerals extraction is a challenging business, and companies must prove they follow ethical labor and sourcing practices throughout the supply chain. Initiatives like our ASI, RMI, LBMA and RJC, allow companies to show transparency across their supply chain, and that their business practices for aluminum, minerals, and precious metals extraction, as well as jewelry-making meet health & safety standards.

Sustainable Waste Management Certification

Inefficient waste management can negatively impact both the environment and an organisation’s finances. Our ISO 14001 Environmental Management System helps you minimise waste, rethink materials recycling, reduce environmental impact – and achieving cost savings.

Social Responsibility and Responsible Sourcing Certification

As consumer expectations and regulations change, businesses need to communicate openly about their social responsibility and ethical business practices. We provide audits for responsible supply chain and labour practices for SEDEX (SMETA), and certification to SA8000 standard.

Sustainability Report Assurance and Emissions Verification

Today’s businesses face increased scrutiny of their business practices from all parties, including governments, external and internal stakeholders, investors, consumers and clients. Companies are expected to demonstrate complete transparency and communicate their sustainability impacts to both public and private entities.
