Who Are Global GreenTag International?
Working to help consumers and manufacturers cut through the greenwashing that is rife across industries, Global GreenTag is a globally recognised sustainable product-certification body, committed to restoring trust within the green marketplace.
Recognised in over 170 countries, Global GreenTag assesses products for all aspects of impacts on human health, ethical labour supply and the environment under the Global GreenTagCert™ certification program. As a third party, multi-criteria, consensus based and externally verified Type 1 Ecolabelling Program, GreenTag’s certification systems are one of the most robust and trusted in the world, operating under strict International Standards. Their mission is to empower consumers and businesses to make truly planet- and health-friendly choices by ensuring all products certified under their certification marks meet high standards of environmental and health performance. To achieve this, they require from product manufacturers complete transparency regarding product ingredients and processes..
The GreenTag PHD (Product Health Declaration) pushes the boundaries of product health certification to address human health concerns directly. It is the first system globally to assess the health impacts of the final product – and not just the hazards of the ingredients to ensure that products surpass rigorous health and environmental standards.
GreenTag certified products:
a) provide independent assurance that products are genuinely healthy choices;
b) have undergone stringent toxicity evaluation;
c) utilise a simple colour key to communicate risks in their PHD report;
d) identify potential risks; and
e) clearly explore health and environmental toxicity.
The Platinum level Asthma & Allergy Sensitive certification result for the BioHygiene products signifies the safest options to be attained under the PHD program. External toxicolgists verified that there were no toxicity issues of concern with the ingredients of the concentrated biological preparation that is utilised for the range, or that any of the ingredients are recognised as asthma or allergy triggers, by one of the world's foremost professional clinical associations, engaged in studying and treating environmental illness. en
The Global GreenTag PHD assessment process not only evaluates how a product reduces environmental impact but it also highlights health benefits in user health, worker safety, and environmental health. It sets a new benchmark by assessing the health impacts of the final product, not just ingredient hazards. Plus, GreenTag complies with the principles and procedures of environmental labelling as an ISO 14024 Type 1 Ecolabelling program demonstrating compliance with an accredited independent auditing body. The PHD mark also has earned formal recognition by leading global building standards like LEED®,WELL™ and Green Star® which focus on sustainability, the environment and human health.
