01.

Confirm eligibility

After we’ve received your application, we review your company’s details to confirm eligibility.

02.

Provide documents & training

We send you a complete set of documents and access to our training portal. There you will find training videos and tips for correctly filling out your documents for the auditor.

03.

Conduct audit

An auditor arrives on site to confirm the accuracy of your documentation and provide additional guidance. The auditor will then provide a report based on their findings.

04.

Submit report for certification

American Green submits the report to the certification body, who then adds your company to the certificate.
