FAQ | Everything You need to know about CERTANIA SUSTAINABILITY
1. How will the merger affect existing customers of DFGE, Terra Institute, and natureOffice?
For our existing customers, the continuity and quality of service from their usual contacts will remain fully intact. At the same time, you will now benefit from an expanded, comprehensive portfolio of services: Where the focus used to be “only” on CO2 accounting, for example, strategic transformation processes and effective climate protection solutions can now be seamlessly integrated.
2. How do DFGE, Terra Institute, and natureOffice collaborate in practice?
We operate as a networked, one-stop-shop organization. Depending on the initial situation and objectives, we assemble an interdisciplinary team drawn from all three firms. A central project manager coordinates all phases—from data collection and strategy development to implementation and communication—ensuring that you always receive a comprehensive, one-stop service.
3. For what company sizes and industries are these solutions suitable?
Thanks to our vertical scalability, we cover the entire spectrum: We support ambitious small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with pragmatic entry-level solutions (such as VS-Reporting or ESG checks), as well as global corporations and international players with complex transformation programs, SBTi targets, or global ESG ratings (ESRS, CDP, EcoVadis).
4. What does integration into the CERTANIA network mean for data security and stability?
CERTANIA brings together more than 40 independent specialized service providers in the TICC sector (Testing, Inspection, Certification & Compliance). As part of this strong network, we offer our customers the highest level of financial stability, verified compliance standards, and certified processes that you can rely on for the long term.
5. What's the best way to get a joint project off the ground?
The easiest way is to schedule a no-obligation initial consultation. Together, we’ll analyze your current ESG maturity level (e.g., regarding CSRD/ESRS, decarbonization, or organizational development) and define a tailored customer journey that starts exactly where your company is today.
