# Global Environment Standardization Scientific Certification Systems is a Californian B Corporation By Tiana Reid | Published 2012-02-01 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scientific-certification-systems References: [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/SCScertified) & [scscertified](http://www.scscertified.com/) Alongside [DopeHut](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dopehut), Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) was one of the very companies certified as a [B Corporation](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-corporations) in California. In its own way, SCS is a bit like B Corp itself. The organization creates and monitors standards worldwide in areas such as sustainable retailing, forestry, climate and food safety through audits and testing. The more and more that we have inspiring social businesses, enterprises and groups that are tackling global issues like sustainability, the more that we need neutral third-party bodies like Scientific Certification Systems to keep projects on the right track. Good intentions can only go so far -- good impact assessments can take change to the next level. **Contact Information** Scientific Certification Systems [website](http://www.scscertified.com/) SCS on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/#!/scscertified) SCS on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/SCScertified) SCS on [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/company/41185) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Global Environment Standardization:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing technologies and systems to globally standardize environmental sustainability practices across industries. - **Sustainable Retailing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating innovative solutions and certifications to promote sustainable practices in the retail industry. - **Third-party Impact Assessments:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Establishing neutral third-party bodies to conduct impact assessments to ensure the effective implementation of social and environmental initiatives. ### Who This Affects Most - **Certification and Testing Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing advanced certification and testing technologies to monitor adherence to global standards for sustainability, climate, and food safety. - **Environmental Consulting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing consulting services that help businesses adopt sustainable retailing practices and navigate environmental regulations. - **Social Enterprise Support:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Providing support and resources to social enterprises and B Corporations to enhance their impact assessment capabilities and amplify their positive influence. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Data-Driven Sustainability Certifications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainforest-alliance.md) - [Regulated Sustainability Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodchain-id.md) - [Collaborative Nonprofit Group Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-labels-big-impact-campaign.md) - [Business-Focused Environmental Responsibility Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildsight.md) - [Eco-Conscious Production Facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soorty-enterprises.md) - [Roofing-Focused Environmental Management Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/environmental-management-system.md) - [Environmental Smart Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iqrcode.md) - [Certified Eco-Friendly Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-key-certification.md) - [Eco-Focused Egg Reporting Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incredibly-sustainable-reporting-tool.md)
