Confirming your environmental commitment is essential for gaining the confidence of consumers and stakeholders. The SGS Environmentally Evaluated Mark helps you and your suppliers to establish environmental standards for consumer products.
This voluntary environmental certification and labeling program assesses your product against our evaluation criteria. Certification enables you to display the SGS Environmentally Evaluated Mark on products that meet specific environmental criteria. This program has been developed to compliment, not prove, your compliance to legal requirements and to contribute to a reduction in the environmental impact associated with product life cycle. It offers you a scheme that will promote confidence in your environmental commitment.
The requirements include all life cycles of the product – from use of resources and manufacturing to use and disposal relating to relevant cross-media environmental indicators.
