Sustainability Certifications for Products
With increasing awareness and scrutiny from consumers about the sustainability credentials of products, brands more than ever need to be able to evidence and substantiate the claims they make. One way to do this is via environmental product certifications, but you must first assess the vast array of sustainability certifications and standards available.
From assessing the sustainability claims of your product to communicating credentials with stakeholders, Anthesis has a comprehensive service to help you implement, upgrade or substantiate environmental product claims and certifications in a targeted, streamlined way.
Our environmental product declarations services:
- Materiality assessment – reviewing your current sustainability approach to align focus with stakeholder requirements and commitments. This will help ensure that the most appropriate standards are being targeted.
- Product landscape reviews – assessing the guidelines and regulations applicable to your product category and geographic locations and how you can comply.
- Sustainability claims assessment – analysing your product data and providing an independent review of the environmental claims and certifications that are applicable for your new or existing products. This could include claims and certifications relating to the recyclability, biodegradability, compostability and carbon footprint of your product.
- Assessing sustainability certifications – providing a detailed review of international certifications and standards to give assurance on their relevance and credibility and to evaluate how they can help you to reach your wider environmental goals, such as reducing your carbon footprint, water scarcity and maintaining natural resources.
- Gap analysis and planning – reviewing current processes and systems versus the required standards. This will feed into a high-level plan which identifies the key actions required for successful implementation of the standard.
- Design, training and communications support – often, brands face a challenge with how to publicise their environmental claims, standards and certifications. We can support you to communicate your claims with your consumers and stakeholders, including how to present the certifications on your product packaging design.
Used well, environmental product claims and certifications will help you to evidence the sustainability credentials of your products and can deliver a range of benefits, such as building consumer loyalty and enhancing your brand reputation.
