Overview
Green Tick is an independent sustainability certification program run by Green Tick Certification Limited, based in New Zealand and operating across Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. The program certifies products, services, and corporations by auditing their performance against the Green Tick Sustainability Standards, using a life-cycle assessment approach that evaluates environmental impact from production through to end of use.
Beyond its core sustainability certification, Green Tick offers a range of specialized certifications including Climate-Friendly, Natural, GE-Free, Organic, and Fair Trader designations. This makes it relevant to organizations seeking recognition across multiple dimensions of responsible practice, not just carbon or environmental performance alone.
The program is suited to businesses across a wide range of industries — including construction, manufacturing, consumer goods, technology, energy, agriculture, and hospitality — that want credible, third-party verification of their sustainability claims. Having operated since 1998, Green Tick positions itself as an established option for organizations looking to demonstrate accountability to customers, regulators, and other stakeholders.
