All the point is determining how much...
If you just force the program to be open this issue largely resolves itself. Companies that want to advertise their certification should have to list their certified members. Leave it up to the buyer as to whether they have enough of them, why should the certification authority be needlessly complicated by worrying about this sort of thing?
The logical leap from there is to not certify companies except indirectly via this mechanism, which solves the whole stack of logistics problems that would otherwise come from trying to figure out just what a company certification even means. Saying "you can list certification for a company only in the context of listing your certified workers" makes the issue go away.
