ESG & Modern Slavery Certification Levels

ESG Verified provides a structured, evidence‑based certification that helps organisations present their ESG & Modern Slavery position clearly and consistently. Certification follows a fixed, version‑controlled model designed for tenders, procurement requests, lender reviews, and investor due diligence.

ESG Certification Levels

ESG Verified offers three levels of certification. Each level builds on the previous one, providing organisations with a clear pathway to strengthen their ESG & Modern Slavery position over time.

A credible baseline for SMEs and small corporates. Structured ESG & Modern Slavery evidence suitable for tenders and procurement requests.

Level 1. Ready

Level 2. Compliant

Certification aligned with procurement expectations. Includes documented policies, supplier context, and structured evidence.

Step 2.
Review

Evidence is checked for completeness and alignment with certification requirements.

Step 3. Certification

How Certification Works

A simple, three‑step process keeps certification clear and predictable for organisations and consultants.
