As governments and regulators around the world look to scrutinize and tackle greenwashing, more and more companies are seeking third-party verification and certification of their environmental actions to demonstrate the validity of their materials and processes in the manufacturing and supply of a wide range of products from garments, fabrics, food service ware, and plastic packaging to data cables, electronics, and furniture.
Now fully piloted with companies from across the consumer product sector, the SGS Green Mark is a proven way for organizations to demonstrate the validity of the widest available range of environmental attribute claims
SGS Green Marks – Environmental Claim Certification and Verification
Our independent assessment scheme, based on recognized standards such as ISO 17065, ISO 17029, ISO 14065, and ISO 14021, ensures your product has passed all defined criteria allowing you to differentiate your product in fractured markets. All protocols include a clearly defined product scope and certification/verification criteria, leaving the consumer in no doubt as to the meaning of the environmental claim. Focusing on just one attribute per mark allows you to communicate your product’s positive environmental aspects to consumers more clearly
