Understanding the post-review process is crucial for managing your expectations. Here's what happens after your ZDHC Supplier to Zero Level 2 Certification review is completed:

1. Review submission: The reviewer submits their completed assessment to ZDHC.
2. ZDHC processing: ZDHC processes the results. This typically doesn't take long, but exact timelines can vary.
3. Platform update: ZDHC updates your certification status on the platform. This is where you'll see the official outcome of your review.
4. Notification: You'll receive a notification through the platform about your certification status update.
5. Successful certification:
   • If you meet all requirements, you'll receive Level 2 certification.
   • You can now use this certification in your sustainability communications (following ZDHC guidelines).
6. Improvement needed:
   • If you don't meet all requirements, you'll receive feedback on areas for improvement.
   • This feedback is valuable for enhancing your sustainability practices.
   • You can work on these areas and reapply in the future.
7. Continuous improvement:
   • Even with successful certification, continue to improve your practices.
   • Start preparing for recertification well before your certification expires.

Remember, achieving certification is a significant accomplishment, but it's also part of an ongoing journey towards greater sustainability. Whether you succeed on your first attempt or need to make improvements, each step brings you closer to your sustainability goals.
