LUCIE now offers a way to take your process further and respond to these questions with the LUCIE 26000+ certification.
Revalidation audit every two years.

A label to go beyond ISO 26000
We propose an assessment on the basis of 12 precise, objective criteria aligned with Kate Raworth’s Donut Economics indicators and with the Planetary Boundaries from the Stockholm Resistance Centre. These are measurable for your company and compared to known averages in various sectors. To identify your position in relation to planetary ceilings and floors on the one hand, and compared to the averages in your sector on the other.
If you are 5% above the average of your sector across all categories, you will be awarded LUCIE 26000+ certification. We will help you develop your business model to achieve and then maintain these thresholds as well as to go beyond them to reach the recommended levels in relation to planetary and social boundaries.
This process includes an advanced training step, allowing you to take control of your indicators and ensure they are maintained, or to achieve the expected thresholds within a reasonable timeframe.
