People and Planet First – Double Badge

The People and Planet First verification uses the Good Market commons shared infrastructure to keep costs low and maximize benefits to applicants. If you need technical support at any point, you can send a help chat message or email hello@goodmarket.global.

If you meet one of the following criteria, you are eligible for a “double badge” verification. 

  • World Fair Trade Organization Guaranteed Member
  • Fair Trade Federation Verified Member
  • Yunus Social Business Portfolio Partner
  • Social Enterprise UK Certified Member
  • Social Enterprise Scotland Member
  • Government of Malaysia Accredited Social Enterprise (INSKEN)
  • Buy Social Canada Certified Social Enterprise
 

This means no additional payment or document review is required. The only step is to submit the online form to create your free profile page. 

 

If you do not meet these criteria, please visit the Verification page.

Step 1: Free Online Profile

The first step is to submit the application form to create a free online public profile. This form serves as a common application to access multiple services, networks, and verification systems.

 

If you already have a profile on Good Market, you do not need to submit a new application. Contact verify@peopleandplanetfirst.org and say you are Good Market Approved and interested in verification. If you are eligible for a double badge, the verification team will send a welcome pack with your badge and certificate.

Sign Up

Click the New Application button, sign up, and verify your email address. If you need additional signup or login help, you can find more details here. You can also send a help chat message, or email hello@goodmarket.global for support.

Click New Application and sign up to apply

Submit Application

The Organization page of the application form tends to take the longest and is the only page with required questions. The rest of the form is mostly Yes / No and multiple choice questions and tends to go quickly. The key thing is to use the application form to share your enterprise’s purpose and story, and if a question doesn’t apply, don’t worry about selecting No. Every enterprise is different. It is normal to have No answers.

 

Continue through the Environment, Customers, Workers, Suppliers, and Community sections of the form. On the final Additional Info page, select People and Planet First Verified Social Enterprise. When you click the Submit button, you will see the confirmation page and receive an email.
