Green Tick Sustainable
The GreenTick certification is an independent sustainability certification program that assesses products, services, and corporations based on their performance against the GreenTick Sustainability Standards. It involves a life-cycle audit to evaluate their environmental and social sustainability throughout their entire supply chain.
The GreenTick certification covers various aspects of sustainability, including Climate-Friendly, Natural, GE-Free (Genetically Engineered-Free), Organic, and Fair Trader brands. It aims to ensure that certified entities operate in a manner that avoids permanent degradation of the environment and considers the well-being of people.
The certification process focuses on measuring the sustainability outcomes of an organization, site, or product. It evaluates factors such as the long-term and cumulative effects, temporary impacts, and the entire life cycle of a product. It should be noted that the GreenTick Standards are used to assess sustainability performance, while ISO Standards serve as a guide for evaluating management systems and product-related aspects.
It's important to note that the GreenTick certification methodology does not replace or encompass certifications related to quality (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001), or health and safety (ISO 45001). It is specifically designed for independent sustainability assessments rather than auditing or certifying specific management systems or product performance.
By obtaining the GreenTick certification, organizations, sites, and products demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and responsible practices. It provides assurance to consumers and stakeholders that they have undergone a comprehensive assessment based on recognized sustainability standards.
