Environmental Accreditation
Sustainability Characteristic Definition
Products with this sustainability characteristic have a specific environmental–related claim, verification, approval, listing, certification, attestation, or accreditation from an independent party.
The accreditation must be at the level of the product and not the company. Third-party accreditations are considered environmental when they address criteria aligned with delivering environmental benefits such as reduced land use, water and waste impact reduction, biodegradability, or regenerative practices of production. Suppliers must provide accreditation aligned to the most recent standard available with expiration dates included.
Examples of Environmental Accreditations and calculation methods include, but are not limited to:
With hundreds of ecolabels in a rapidly evolving marketplace, we cannot list them all here. The most credible ecolabels offer clear criteria for performance and require data to demonstrate performance. Third party auditing offers additional credibility. An ecolabel created by a supplier itself is not acceptable.
Sustainability adds value and makes business sense.
By leveraging our strong portfolio of sustainable products, services, practices and technologies to aid customers and consumers in meeting their sustainability goals, we demonstrate our commitment to sustainability and vision for a better world.
Sustainability makes good business sense and aligns with our core values of being serious about safety, a place where people matter, a company that's valuable to others and does what they say so that together, we win. Combined, these sustainability principles illustrate how through common goals, we can work toward a better tomorrow through next-generation solutions.
