Certora Achieve Silver Membership with the Supply Chain Sustainability School.

Certora have achieved Silver membership with the Supply Chain Sustainability School.

We have achieved Silver membership with the Supply Chain Sustainability School, a recognised benchmark across our industry which marks a step forward in how we are developing our approach to sustainability.

Reaching Silver has been a process over time. We initially joined the school as a member, achieved Bronze following our first twelve-month review, and have now progressed to Silver after completing our second annual assessment and demonstrating consistent engagement with the school’s resources throughout that period.

A big part of achieving Silver has been completing our initial self-assessment, creating a bespoke action plan with the school, and then working through that plan across the last two years. We have spent time building our understanding across key areas, using the school’s resources to strengthen how we approach sustainability in practice, and making sure that learning is applied within the business. It has also required consistent engagement. We have continued to use training, attend sessions and revisit our progress each year rather than treating it as a one-off exercise.

In line with wider sustainability targets in the UK, including Net Zero, businesses are increasingly expected to embed both environmental and social responsibility into their day-to-day operations. We see sustainability as an opportunity; a new challenge to rise to rather than an inconvenience. This whole ethos is what we’re about here at Certora, and a reflection of what we offer to our customers: teaching true competence and compliance, not just training or tick-boxing. Working with the SCSS we have been able to identify a common understanding of sustainability within our workforce, and both develop and execute our aims and objectives, letting us work in the most sustainable way we can.

We work with a number of larger organisations, many of whom place increasing importance on sustainability across their supply chains. Working with Certora as their training provider means working with a sustainable supplier, and also a Silver member of the Supply Chain Sustainability School who they can collaborate and share resources with to help each other improve both up and downstream. In fact, after achieving the Silver award, our goal for our next twelve-month review is to share our resources and learning, and create content to help others, and to achieve the Gold award in 2027.

Over the next twelve months then, the focus is on building on our success, embedding what we have already learned, putting more structure behind how we track progress, and making better use of the school as part of how we operate day to day. We also want to play a more active role, sharing what we are doing and learning with others while continuing to develop our own approach. We look forward to writing the next update in twelve months’ time with Gold membership behind us.
