Are you LUCIE ESG-certified and want to know more about your real impact on society and environment, as well as compare your impact to similar organisations in the same sector?

LUCIE now offers a way to take your process further and respond to these questions with the LUCIE ESG+ certification.

Revalidation audit every two years.

We propose an assessment on the basis of 12 precise, objective criteria which are 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 LUCI ESG+ 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.

Practical measurement tools using a triple accounting method to measure your economic, social and environmental footprint across your entire value chain
