Value of revenue received from sales of the organization’s certified products during the reporting period.
Organizations should footnote all assumptions used, including details about the applicable certification. See usage guidance for further information.
This metric is intended to capture the amount of the organization’s sales revenue that comes from selling certified products. A certification must come from a third party, be based on transparent standards, and have an assurance process. The process of certification must be carried out by a recognized third-party body, independent from interested parties, which demonstrates that a product or organization complies with the requirements defined by the standards or technical specifications. Examples of such certifications include UTZ Certified, Fair Trade (WFTO fair trade standard), Common Code for the Coffee Community (C4), Rainforest Alliance agriculture certification, Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Organizations should footnote relevant details about the certification (such as certification name and certifying body) and can do so by reporting separately on Product/Service Certifications (PD2756).
