Ambition with
clear substantiation.

Content updated: 12 September 2026.

Standards and certification

RTE provides consultancy, implementation, internal audits and support. Independent, competent certification bodies assess and issue certificates. The appropriate standard edition, scope and transition arrangements are established at the beginning of an assignment.

On the review date, ISO 9001:2026 is being prepared for publication; ISO and NEN give 16 September 2026 as the planned publication date. Our services include preparation for the new edition. Climate relevance in the organisational context and an organisation’s own nature ambition are different subjects. Biodiversity is not a general separate certification scope automatically required by ISO 9001. Your.EARTH is not a condition for ISO certification.

ISO 14001:2026 has been published and gives more explicit attention to climate change, biodiversity and resources. RTE translates relevant challenges into mitigation, adaptation and nature restoration; measures follow from the organisational context, environmental aspects and applicable obligations. CO₂ Performance Ladder version 3.1 has five levels; Handbook 4.0 has three steps. The stated transition date for 3.1 audits follows SKAO’s arrangements. VCA, ISO 45001 and the Safety Culture Ladder each have their own purpose and assessment. We do not offer training or examinations.

Nature-Positive Partner

Your.EARTH helps companies become Nature-Positive Partners. The described requirements come from the YE-STD-01 Nature-Positive Partner Standard supplied by RTE, version 0.1 of 10 September 2026. This is an internal working draft, not yet validated or adopted for formal statements and public claims. The website describes the proposed approach and does not confirm any granted partner status.

The draft standard distinguishes financing, site plan, baseline, delivery and outcome. It provides for independently assessed partner statements with defined boundaries. Your.EARTH and RTE guide and organise; under this model, they do not issue independent statements on their own work. An ISO certificate, contribution or client listing does not automatically confer partner status or prove nature-positive business operations.

Before formal introduction, measurement procedures, ecological valuation factors and independent assessment, among other elements, need to be developed. The admission logic for the commitment level and the requirement to close all mandatory criteria must be aligned in version 1.0. The website uses the v0.1 thresholds as proposed criteria. The first programmes, example results and sample statement numbers mentioned in the document are not published as confirmed projects, performance or issued statements.

Independent services

RTE offers advisory services individually or together. Delivery by Your.EARTH or another organisation is a separate choice. For an assignment, we make the scope, criteria, fees, participants and relevant relationships clear. A client listing does not mean mandatory purchasing, independent certification or a guarantee of project results.

CO₂ certification and verification

ISO 14064-1 supports the organisational inventory, ISO 14067 the product footprint and ISO 14064-2 project-level quantification. ISO 14064-3 provides the framework for independent validation and verification. These concern different assessment objects; verification is not general company certification or automatic credit issuance.

ISCC EU covers applicable sustainability and greenhouse gas criteria for biomass supply chains and other relevant uses. ISCC CFC concerns product climate performance; the available methodology determines whether regular certification or a pilot route is appropriate. RTE prepares and supports; the competent independent party conducts the assessment. For JALO, these pathways require investigation for suitability and are not listed as certifications already achieved.

Clients and team

JALO, Electriffy, Plenty Planet, Your.EARTH and Van Baarsen are presented as clients on RTE’s instruction. This is not a statement about shareholding, group structure or the scope of individual assignments. The profiles describe their sectors and development directions without attributing achieved results or certifications to RTE.

The names and roles on the team page were supplied by RTE. Positions at Plenty Planet and Your.EARTH are identified as such. No qualifications, certifications or personal career claims that were not supplied have been added. The AI-generated portraits are temporary examples of fictional people. They do not depict the named team members and will be replaced with real team photographs.

News and example vacancies

The news slider contains an editorial selection from company sources and the supplied Your.EARTH concept. Stories rotate automatically; there is no automatic news feed or continuous source monitoring. Dates and context accompany each item. An archive story about Namibia does not confirm current delivery status. The careers page contains twenty fictional example roles; these are not yet confirmed openings.

Investment and nature results

Business cases and funding dossiers rely on documented assumptions and scenarios. RTE does not guarantee capital, transaction success or returns. Decisions rest with the client and participating financiers.

A nature programme requires a baseline, appropriate measures, financing agreements, local involvement and monitoring. Contributions and terms are agreed for each project. Nature restoration, avoided emissions and any carbon credits are substantiated separately; a contribution does not automatically support a climate-neutrality claim.

Images and inspiration

The landscape image with a river and solar energy is an AI concept image and is not presented as a completed RTE project. The Camping Bakkum project image comes from the existing website package and is used with appropriate context. KAM Groep inspires the clear structure of certification support; Green Earth inspires the connection between business objectives and nature. The supplied Your.EARTH concept screenshots inspire the dark-blue nature section, green accents and the connection between business, landscape and evidence. The images describe a proposed model with a contribution of 2% of the qualifying contract or investment value defined in writing in advance, target matching up to 2×, 0% loans, redeployment of funds and additional donations. This model is explained as a concept on the client profile. The qualifying base, availability, matching, conditions and verification must be established for each programme. No number of active landscapes or completed financing is confirmed. The contribution percentage is not an RTE fee or standard requirement; no unsubstantiated carbon-negative or nature-positive results are adopted. No client quotations, figures or claims from other organisations are copied.
