Pet Sustainability Accreditation Requirements

PSC offers the only accreditation in the pet industry that measures and verifies your sustainable business operations. When you pursue accreditation, you are evaluated on your social and environmental impact initiatives through a third-party assessment. You must achieve a minimum score on the assessment and answer your questions with accuracy to earn the accredited status.

Why Become Accredited

Establish Credibility with Employers

Demonstrate to your employees that you are taking action on your sustainability claims. The accreditation allows you to track and communicate progress to your team.

Attract the Best Talent

80 percent of Millennials said they “would be more motivated and committed at work if they felt their employer made a positive impact on society” in a 2020 Deloitte Study.

Formalize your Sustainability Commitments

Through the third-party assessment, learn where your business excels and how you can document your actions.

Premiere Placement at Pet Sustainability Coalition’s Events

Looking to stand out at PSC’s events attended by 1,000 pet professionals? PSC Accredited Companies are celebrated at the virtual exhibit halls and throughout the events.

Be Considered for the Pet Sustainability Awards

When you achieve accreditation, you are eligible for the Pet Sustainability Awards, which recognize pet suppliers, brands, and manufacturers for their outstanding impact initiatives working towards a more sustainable and equitable pet industry.

Gain Media Exposure

When you verify and measure your impact, our media partners want to know about it. Earn spotlights at virtual events, be recognized in our partners’ publications, and be considered for Accreditation Awards.
