LUCIE One Planet certification
Do you have a CSR certification which is recognised in the market but want to anticipate changes in your business model in order to become more robust and limit your impact on the planet and society?
LUCIE One Planet is the only certification to guarantee that an organisation is really compatible with planetary limits. This ambitious certification offers a practical and transformative methodology to measure an organisation’s impact, lay the foundations for growth and mobilise the necessary investment to respect our planet’s limits.

The certification which takes planetary limits into account
With the LUCIE One Planet certification, we assess you according to 12 precise, objective, measurable criteria aligned with the Kate Raworth’s Donut Economics model and the Planetary Boundaries of the Stockholm Resistance Centre, to identify your position in relation to planetary and social ceilings and floors. The, you build your long-term action plan, with the support of specialists of your choice and at your own pace, to achieve “net zero” within a maximum of 15 years.
If your transformation plan is scientifically sound and substantiated and if your commitment is credible and proportionate to your resources, our independent Certification Committee may award you the LUCIE One Planet certification and we will proceed to carry out monitoring evaluations every two years to ensure your success and maintain your certification. By using a triple accounting method to measure your economic, social, and environmental impact, the thresholds which must not be exceeded are clearly defined.

The LUCIE One Planet certification process at a glance
LUCIE One Planet is a demanding certification process which takes place over several years and guides you in establishing a pathway which respects planetary and social boundaries.
Does your plan need to mature?
You may want to take an intermediate step before tacking this demanding programme. If so, you can turn to the LUCIE 26000+ and LUCIE ESG+ certifications, which are specifically targeted at organisations which have already achieved a high level of maturity following their LUCIE 26000 or LUCIE ESG certification.
This will determine your position in comparison to planetary and social limits on the one hand and in comparison to the average in your sector of activity on the other. It acts as a springboard for your progress and helps consolidate your new economic model.
