Cradle to Cradle Certified®

Cradle to Cradle® Certification Services by Sustenuto

At Sustenuto, we guide manufacturers, brands, and suppliers through the Cradle to Cradle Certified® Product Standard, owned by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. As a strategic sustainability consultancy, we work at the intersection of product innovation, certification, and organisational strategy, helping you to develop sustainability at the core of your business operations.

We assist organizations in obtaining any of the certificates in the different product standards (V4.0/V4.1/V4.2) offered by the Cradle to Cradle Certified® Products Program:

1.         C2C Certified® Full Scope

2.        C2C Certified® Material Health

3.         C2C Certified® Circularity

Our proven approach

Over the years, we have refined a proven work approach that delivers consistent results. Through our standardized methodology, clients gain access to structured presentations, ready-to-use templates, and practical guidance documents, supported by weekly or bi-weekly meetings that keep projects on track.

Our project managers begin by addressing the requirements that companies typically find most challenging—providing early clarity and preventing delays later in the process. In addition to this structured framework, we offer flexible, tailored support based on your organization’s specific needs, enabling you to move confidently and efficiently toward certification success.

C2C Certified® certification often represents ‘the end of the beginning’, as the implementation of the optimisation strategies that were identified during the certification process will deliver tangible sustainability and circularity benefits to your products, organisation and value chain. This represents the hidden value of C2C Certified® certification. Our own, broad, and varied, skill set can supplement your teams’ expertise to:

• implement specific optimisation strategies,

• develop workshops to inform and engage top management,

• organise ‘train the trainer’ sessions for your middle management,

• hand you the necessary tools to carry out and develop the implementation,

• add knowledge, e.g., on materials, on circularity, and on stakeholder management.
