Overview
Global GreenTag is a certification program that evaluates the health and environmental impact of products. Their Product Health Declaration™ (PHD) offers transparency about product composition and safety, helping consumers and manufacturers make informed choices. Established to provide clearer health information, Global GreenTag collaborates with industry leaders to assess products from every angle.
Since inception, Global GreenTag has certified thousands of products, ensuring they meet stringent standards. Major clients include multinational corporations and eco-conscious brands, marking Global GreenTag as a trusted name in sustainability. For product certification, manufacturers submit detailed data, which is rigorously reviewed against health impact criteria. This program aids in understanding risks associated with product ingredients, promoting safer and greener products.
Requirements & Verification
Evidence Requirements
Manufacturers must submit full disclosure of all product ingredients and manufacturing processes. Documentation is reviewed against health impact criteria and environmental standards. Products must meet requirements aligned with ISO 14040/14044 (LCA), ISO 14067 (greenhouse gas), and ISO 14025 (Environmental Product Declarations). Third-party auditors independently verify submitted data before certification is granted.
Prerequisites
Assessment Process
There is no traditional exam. Certification involves a documentary review process in which manufacturers submit full product ingredient data, formulation details, and manufacturing process information. Global GreenTag's independent technical team evaluates submissions against health impact criteria and ISO-aligned environmental standards. Third-party auditors verify the data before a certification decision is made. Any changes to product composition require re-assessment.

Consider Alternatives If...
Manufacturers with limited resources for full ingredient disclosure and third-party auditing may find this certification burdensome. If your primary market is outside Australia, New Zealand, and Asia-Pacific, a more globally dominant label such as Cradle to Cradle or DECLARE may offer broader recognition.
