Introduction
Feefo has joined forces with Ethy, uniting its reputation for brand awareness, consumer trust, and cutting-edge technology with Ethy's sustainability expertise. Together, they offer responsible companies the tools and credibility to effectively communicate their sustainability journeys. This knowledge base article provides insights into how businesses can leverage this partnership to prove their environmental and social achievements to customers through an accreditation framework developed in collaboration with sustainability leaders.
Accreditation Process
To gain accreditation, businesses need to apply for at least two of the 34 available ecolabels. These ecolabels serve as badges of honor, attesting to a company's commitment to sustainability. For detailed criteria on achieving accreditation, please refer to the "How can you evidence your commitment for accreditation" section on the Ethy website.
How it Works
The accreditation process is designed to be straightforward and supportive:
- Collaboration with Your Feefo Team: You will work closely with your familiar Feefo team throughout the accreditation journey.
- Access to Brand Dashboard: You'll access your brand dashboard on the accreditation platform, where you can monitor and manage your progress.
- Tailored Task List: You'll receive a tailored task list, making it clear which actions are still outstanding.
- Assessment: Feefo and Ethy will assess your brand's environmental and social practices using six individual forms.
- Ecolabel Integration: Ecolabels will be automatically integrated into your Feefo merchant I.D. through Feefo widget displays.
- Ongoing Support: Throughout the process, you'll have access to support and guidance.
Onboarding
The onboarding phase ensures a smooth start:
- Access to Brand Dashboard: You'll access your brand dashboard on the accreditation platform.
- Task List Visibility: Your tailored task list will be readily visible, allowing you to track your progress.
- Continuous Support: Support is available at all times during the onboarding process.
Ecolabel Accreditation
Upon completing the audit, you can review your accreditation results on your accreditation dashboard.

Additionally, you can view and download your accreditation certification, core sustainability badge, and individual ecolabels from a library of assets. Guidance on the best ways to utilize them will also be provided.
