Certified Sustainability Facts (CSF) Label
Tells your complete sustainability story by not only capturing your environmental efforts, but also your social responsibility efforts
Certified Sustainability Facts (CSF) Certification
The most in depth and comprehensive certification that GreenCircle Certified offers.
The CSF label is a culmination of multiple sustainability attributes for a product and its manufacturing operation that supports a circular economy, human health, climate health, ecosystem health, and social health & equity.
The label allows companies to measure and drive continuous improvement in the sustainability of their products and manufacturing operations in a transparent manner; and communicate that sustainability in a format that is easy to read and understand.
To be eligible for the CSF Certification, GreenCircle requires a minimum of two attributes in two different sustainability categories, with at least one attribute in Circular Economy, Human Health or Climate Health.
The CSF Certification has been accredited by The ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB).
