Once registered in the Certification System, the company must begin the process of implementing the Sustainability Code in the areas and facilities that will be included in the scope of the certification.

This process consists of two main stages:

  • ✔ Self-assessment
  • ✔ Implementation of the standard

STAGE 1

SELF-ASSESSMENT

  • ✔Review the requirements.
  • ✔Identify gaps.
  • ✔Prioritize critical issues.

STAGE 2

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STANDARD

  • ✔Implement the improvements.
  • ✔Generate the necessary records.
  • ✔Train the work teams.
  • ✔Prepare for the audit.

SELF-ASSESSMENT

After gaining access to the intranet, the company must download the available regulatory documents:

  • ✔Standard for green, red, and orange zones; and Standard for purple zones.
  • ✔Green, red, and orange area checklists; and purple area checklist.
  • ✔General Regulations.
  • ✔Support forms and guides.

The company must conduct a Critical Points (CP) Self-Assessment to identify its level of compliance and plan implementation before proceeding to the external audit.

✔
Critical requirements are mandatory:Certification requires compliance with 100% of the critical requirements.
✔ Each requirement is scored on a scale of 4 to 12 points. The checklists indicate the minimum scores and compliance criteria.
✔
Gaps must be corrected: Critical requirements that are not met must be addressed before the audit.
✔ The self-assessment enables planning: It helps define who is responsible, the timeline, and the implementation actions.
