01PRESTIGE
Our clients take sustainability seriously and are willing to have their work assessed. That is why they have an ESG certificate backed by a rating from a registered provider. A paid-for badge without a well-supported assessment may amount to greenwashing. If this comes to light, the company can face ridicule and lose the trust of customers and business partners.
02PUBLIC PROCUREMENT
In tenders with sustainability requirements, submit one ESG certificate backed by a rating from a registered provider. The buyer receives a clear grade and an evidence-based result across E, S and G without having to piece together separate statements. Show your assessed position in the bid itself.
03SUPPLY CHAIN
Keep your status as a qualified supplier to international customers and gain access to new supply chains. Customers who need ESG policies and data for their own reporting or due diligence under the CSDDD receive a certificate backed by a rating and a well-supported view of your company. Enter the supplier selection process with a concrete result.
04KEY CUSTOMERS
Maintain the trust of your most important customers. When they ask for sustainability information, present a certificate backed by an ESG rating and report. Clearly show your measures, management approach and progress, and strengthen your position when you discuss continuing the relationship.
05FINANCING
The ECB expects banks to consider climate and environmental risks when lending. Banking rules also cover broader ESG risks. Provide a clear rating and supporting evidence so the bank can assess your ESG position more efficiently when considering financing, its terms and sustainability-focused products.
06INVESTORS
Investors look at a company’s resilience, the quality of its management and its ability to cope with difficult conditions. An ESG certificate backed by a rating presents your strengths, risks and priorities based on an assessment. Give investors a concrete basis for due diligence and move the discussion towards well-informed decisions.
07COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Competitors look for every advantage. Customers, investors and the public are paying more attention to sustainability. An ESG certificate backed by a rating makes your results and progress visible, supports your claims and gives partners a concrete reason to choose you.
08COMPANY CULTURE
Make sustainability part of daily business decisions and look for savings in energy, resources and processes. The rating shows strengths, weaknesses and priorities for people and governance. A repeat assessment makes progress visible and helps management focus investment and action where they add value.
09SAVE TIME
Stop preparing ESG evidence separately for every customer. One certificate backed by a rating and report gives your team a ready starting point for discussions, questionnaires and reviews. Where it covers the recipient’s request, you can avoid duplicate work and give your team more time for business.
NORTHON ESG Ratings™ brings reviewed evidence on the environment, people and governance together in one result. The rating reflects which issues matter, as well as the organisation’s sector, size and operations. A single grade on the ESG certificate clearly shows its assessed overall sustainability position. In tenders and business discussions, you can present one coherent document instead of repeatedly preparing separate ESG statements and general sustainability credentials.
