  • Don't the standards change often?

    Yes. Because we are up to date on the latest certification standards, you can be assured we will advise you regarding all applicable eco-rating systems, and help drive your business into the "green."

    What if standards become outdated?

    As part of our contract with you, we can continue to monitor your business practices and advise you as to any modifications that should be undertaken when, or if, the need arises.

    How can a business be certain that it is meeting certification standards?

    After our expert review of your manufacturing, design, sourcing and packaging practices, we'll let you know not only which standards should be met, but also how to get there.

    When standards are met in manufacturing, design or sourcing, how can businesses get the word out?

    Don't keep the good news under wraps! Let us connect you with one of our partners to help you re-brand and advertise your new environmental strategies.

  • Why should businesses be concerned with meeting sustainable certification standards?

    Sustainability is a broad umbrella under which you'll find the keys to both environmentally friendly practices, and profitable business operations. Successful businesses in the 21st century use our services to help them locate the point at which their social, environmental and economic positions intersect. From there, we can help you build profitable "green" products and develop foundational policies to guide future business operations.

    Which standards are the most important?

    It depends. Hundreds of certifications exist which are all encompassing, or which focus on a single product attribute. We will analyze your specific business model, product, market and location in making a determination concerning the standards you should aim to meet.

    What may happen if standards are not met?

    If you are positioning yourself as an eco-friendly company, but are not making the grade, claims of "greenwashing," will not only hurt your bottom line, but could be the basis for legal action against you. While many of the green certification standards are not legally binding (yet), savvy businesses realize that changing their practices now can put them ahead of the curve both in the marketplace and when legal mandates are adopted in the future.
