Accreditation through WHC provides third-party credibility and an objective evaluation of projects.
Certification validates wildlife habitat projects to employees as well as the community at large.
Each year, WHC accredits new projects as well as continues certification to those programs that have maintained WHC's stringent standards.

Restoration, creation, protection, and enhancement of habitat and individual species management are among the types of habitat programs that qualify for accreditation. WHC's annual Registry of Certified and Internationally Accredited Corporate Wildlife Habitat Programs describes sites with certified programs. A Corporate Habitat of the Year for previously certified programs and a Rookie of the Year for first-time accredited programs are named at WHC's yearly Symposium.
