GSP™ offers three certification levels, all based on the same core criteria, with increasing levels of validation and support. Each level reflects a different degree of maturity, evidence, and external review.
Level 1 – Self-Assessed
Who: Organizations starting their sustainability journey
Availability: Open access

- Public GSP™ Self-Assessed badge

⚠️ This level is based solely on self-declared information and is not independently verified.
Level 2 – Verified Certification

Availability: Paid
- Independent review by GreenSeal
- Evidence-based validation against GSP™ criteria
- GSP™ Verified badge (awarded upon successful verification)
- Public certification page

Level 3 – Verified+ Certification and Enablement
Who: Organizations aiming for leadership
Availability: Custom engagement (6–12 months recommended)
- Technical and organizational guidance
- Tailored sustainability and efficiency roadmap
- Advanced internal enablement: workshops, keynotes, AMA sessions, and knowledge transfer
- Regular check-ins and touchpoints to monitor progress
- Delivery of actionable reports
Badge and Certification:
- All participating organizations receive a GSP™ Verified+ In Progress badge during the engagement, indicating active participation in the GSP™ Verified+ program.
- Achievement of the GSP™ Verified+ badge is awarded only upon successful completion of the engagement and passing a formal verification review.
- Organizations that do not meet the verification criteria at the end of the engagement will not receive the GSP™ Verified+ badge, but will retain the benefits of the engagement.
GSP™ Verified+ is designed for organizations that want to go beyond certification and actively build long-term sustainable software and AI capabilities.
The engagement provides expert support, tailored recommendations, and structured guidance to help your organization strengthen its sustainability practices. The GSP™ Verified or GSP™ Verified+ badge is not guaranteed; it depends on meeting the required criteria. The program is structured to maximize readiness and progress toward certification, empowering teams to implement best practices internally.
