discussed how $3$rd$-$Party Certification, such as through the Rountdable on Sustainable Palm Oil and the Forest Stewardship Council can serve as a tool for promoting sustainability. Choose an environmental problem $($other than palm oil or deforestation$)$ and $$create$$ a NGO and a $3$rd$-$Party Certification program $($run by your NGO$)$ that they are using to address the environmental problem.

Name your organization

What are your NGOs guiding principles$/$mission$?(3$ pts$)($at least one needs to relate to your NGOs $3$rd certification program$)$

Name of the Seal $($certification$)$ that your NGO offers. $($eg "RSPO Certified", "Pollinator Positive" $,$ "Certified River Friendly", etc$)$

Develop and describe at least $4$ sustainability criteria that a business would need to meet in order to receive the certification that your organization would provide $(10$ pts$).$ These criteria should relate directly to your mission and be specific and measurable. Remember, the criteria are the means by which you get the business community to do what you want. NOTE: Do not create criteria that use vague words that could be exploited. For example, requiring that operations be "sustainable" or "eco$-$friendly". Those are not a specific or measurable criteria.

You can create a NGO that certifies a sustainable product, but that doesn$$t mean that industry will just start coming to you and offering to to make major changes for your stamp of approval.

Review the video on the approach WWF $($World Wildlife Fund$)$ took in creating their Palm Oil certification. $($Deforestation slide show, slide #$15).$ Now, let's assume you are running the NGO that you just created. Think about how you would create a program where industry wants to participate in your certification process. How would you get them to come to the table? $($You do not have regulatory powers. You also do not have vast amounts of money to$,$ say, subsidize all their equipment, or pay all of them incentive fees$).$

Discuss at least $3$ aspects of your process that would get industry on board with your certification program. $($
