Design notes
The round badge is a cut through the ground. A bold sapling stands on a dark soil line, and three roots reach down into the lighter earth below it, the tap root longest. The word Sustainability and the label Certified rest in the soil, and the organisation name and Climate Action follow the green rim. The shapes are kept simple so the plant, the ground line and the title still read on a profile, in an email signature or on a digital wallet card.
About
Sustainability Badge Template, Sapling and Roots
A sustainability badge is small, shareable proof that someone has done the groundwork: learned the basics of climate science, worked out a carbon footprint, and looked at how circular economy thinking and the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals apply to their own role. Companies award it after staff sustainability training, often as one step of an ESG or net-zero plan, while nonprofits and training providers give it to volunteers and learners who finish a climate action course.

Post for the recipient to share
I have just completed a course in sustainability and climate action. I learned how to measure a carbon footprint, how circular economy ideas apply to everyday work, and how to turn the Sustainable Development Goals into a practical plan. Now the real work starts: putting it into practice with my team. #Sustainability #ClimateAction
