Accreditation Process


To gain accreditation, businesses need to apply for at least two of the 34 available ecolabels. These ecolabels serve as badges of honor, attesting to a company's commitment to sustainability. For detailed criteria on achieving accreditation, please refer to the "How can you evidence your commitment for accreditation" section on the Ethy website.



How it Works


The accreditation process is designed to be straightforward and supportive:

  • Collaboration with Your Feefo Team: You will work closely with your familiar Feefo team throughout the accreditation journey.
  • Access to Brand Dashboard: You'll access your brand dashboard on the accreditation platform, where you can monitor and manage your progress.
  • Tailored Task List: You'll receive a tailored task list, making it clear which actions are still outstanding.
  • Assessment: Feefo and Ethy will assess your brand's environmental and social practices using six individual forms.
  • Ecolabel Integration: Ecolabels will be automatically integrated into your Feefo merchant I.D. through Feefo widget displays.
  • Ongoing Support: Throughout the process, you'll have access to support and guidance.


Onboarding


The onboarding phase ensures a smooth start:

  • Access to Brand Dashboard: You'll access your brand dashboard on the accreditation platform.
  • Task List Visibility: Your tailored task list will be readily visible, allowing you to track your progress.
  • Continuous Support: Support is available at all times during the onboarding process.

Guidance on the best ways to utilize them will also be provided.
