Sustainability Scheme

[AlexDawsonUK]

Issue: Browsers have the potential to verify the security of a website using certification processes such as SSL and this is verified within the address bar with a high user-experience recognition. Within the scope of sustainability, the ability for a central authority to offer a similar scheme by using machine-testability (against perhaps the WSGs) to showcase the level of sustainability of a website and then providing certification for that website or application, a similar mechanism could be achieved for allowing website owners to have recognition of their efforts within browsers (if implemented by user-agents in an accessible manner). This could also be accompanied by a HTTP header if certification exists?

Note: EU CIRPASS Scheme could be used as it uses W3C standards to provide product passports which could be extended for digital products and services as a container format (RDFa or XML) for certificates being issued.
