A wide variety of voluntary ecolabeling schemes have appeared in recent years to help businesses striving to meet consumer demand for more sustainable products and services. However, environmental claims will only help consumers if they are based on scientific evidence and can be trusted.
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, including:
Products certified/verified under our program will gain global recognition via the SGS Green Mark. This mark can be used on the product, packaging, promotional materials, and advertising to show end-users that the environmental claim is certified or verified by SGS.
All marks have a QR code that allows consumers to confirm that the mark and claim are authentic. Additionally, it will provide consumers with a link to a quick summary of the specifics of the certification.
Other specific benefits include:
Build trust in your product or brand and gain competitive advantage in complex global markets with independent certification or verification by SGS.
