How Does It Work?

The GeNext Certification process is designed to be both rigorous and accessible, ensuring that high standards are met without unnecessary complexity:

Step 1: Initial Assessment

Begin with a detailed self-assessment to evaluate your business’s current social and environmental performance. It’s an opportunity to reflect and prepare.

Step 2: Application Submission

Submit your application alongside documentation that outlines your business practices — from supply chain and employee benefits to community involvement and sustainability measures.

Step 3: Third-Party Verification

Independent experts will conduct a thorough review of your submission and carry out an on-site verification to ensure your claims match your reality.

Step 4: Certification Decision

Based on the assessment, GeNext will determine if your business meets the required standards. If successful, you’ll receive the official GeNext Certification — a symbol of your business’s values and impact.

Step 5: Continuous Improvement

Certification isn’t the end of the journey — it’s just the beginning. Maintaining your status means committing to ongoing improvement and growth, ensuring your business continues to lead by example.
