About the Certification Programme
The Climate Neutral Certification Programme went live on the 1st of January 2021 and has since then grown rapidly. With over 60 mio certified products sold annually to consumers in 14 countries, the Certification Programme is creating real impact. We put the bar high: we require our certified clients to make substantial GHG emission reductions every year in line with the Paris Agreement, and what cannot be reduced yet shall be compensated with the most credible offsets. Certified clients need to go public with their obliged targets and need to report how they have achieved and intend to achieve the targeted reductions. And, all of this is all verified through 3rd party audits by accredited Certification Bodies (CBs). For more information, see here .
With this Certification Programme, we have acquired ‘ Topkeurmerk ’ (Toplabel) status in the Netherlands, and we were endorsed by ISEAL, the overarching organisation overseeing certification schemes, requiring us to implement the ISEAL Codes of Good Practise .
Continuous reflection and improvement are core to our Programme and the impact we wish to make. We continuously build capacity and provide internal support to our Client Account Managers and Consultants, and we have set up an extensive Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning System as well as a CB Support & Oversight System. An Advisory Committee composed of external stakeholder representatives, as well as an internal Content Standardization Committee have been appointed to oversee consistent implementation of the Programme. In addition, the Certification Team is developing an additional Programme on Insetting to help (certified) clients achieve their reduction targets.
With the continuously changing Voluntary Carbon Market in which we operate, and with major upcoming changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate (a.o. the (draft) Green Claims Directive and Empowering Consumer Proposal) the Certification Programme is up for content revision in 2024/25, also to explore and facilitate new upscale opportunities via Anthesis’ network and client portfolio. We have made a first start already, with a full rebranding of the Certification Programme, including a new name, logo and trademark, narratives, claims, website, marketing material, etc.
Summary of Role
Anthesis currently has a vacancy for a Certification Programme Implementation Manager to support the Certification Team with a range of tasks related to the implementation of the (revised) Certification Programme at all levels in our organisation (mainly Client Account Managers and Consultants) as well as with external stakeholders (Certification Bodies, Advisory Committee). This is a senior role aiming to lift overall performance and credibility of the Programme to a higher level. You will detect issues and inconsistencies, build capacity where needed, align different parties towards the same direction, and support all actors involved throughout the audit preparation and certification process. You are always just one step ahead of the rest: you foresee where issues may occur or things may ‘fall between the cracks’ and signal opportunities for improvement. For this, you make also use of our first version of our Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning system. With your seniority, you pro-actively initiate and implement these improvements and prevent larger escalations: you get the different involved parties around the table, use data to draw conclusions for improvements, and you steer the process towards the right direction. This means you will have to become an expert on the content of the Core Programme Documents (i.e. the Standard, Assurance Protocol and Trademark & Claims Policy) and will need to understand good auditing and certification practices.
This is a senior role.
Key Responsibilities
Note that the content of this role may be re-shaped (TBD internally with all team members), once the Certification Programme scales up further.
Key Requirements
Skills, experience, technical knowledge, etc are all important advantages, but we really seek one individual that has the right mind-set,attitude, dedication and character. We can train you on the content, but we cannot change who you are. Thus, if you are a bright, result-oriented self-starter, who is passionate to create real change, then please get in touch with us.
