What business certifications are

Business certifications are formal recognitions that a company meets a defined standard, framework, or set of requirements. They can relate to quality management, sustainability, compliance, safety, industry performance, or operational excellence.

In practice, certifications are usually tied to a standard and verified through an assessment or audit process. The right certification depends on the business objective, the sector, and the requirements of the chosen body or standard.
