Environmental Certification

What does it mean to be Environmentally Certified?

Environmental certification is a form of regulation performed by a third-party in which they assess the sustainability of the product for our planet. To be certified it means that the claims you make about these healthy assessments are valid, you comply with the criteria, and the environmental practices are meeting the standards of the industry. 

Benefits?

Many benefits come from environmental certification. Some examples include saving time and money, identifying weaknesses in the environmental policy, and encouraging further change for a healthier environment. 

One example of a certification program is LEED. LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely known program regarding certification. Another example includes BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method), which is an international program that specifically is recognized for its evaluation in building and infrastructure projects. 

The two programs listed above are just a few of many examples out there. However, they all have one universal goal: Save the planet from all dangers of human activity.
