MORE ABOUT GLOBAL GREENTAG AFRICA

Global GreenTag Africa provides green product certification, declaration and verification services to progressive manufacturers throughout Africa, with a certification system developed by Global GreenTag International, which simplifies the selection of sustainable products for the green cleaning, building, interiors, infrastructure and personal care sectors, using Global GreenTagCertTM one of the most scientifically advanced, sustainable product certification systems in the world.

Launched in South Africa in 2013, the GreenTag system formally became recognised first by the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA). Since then, Global GreenTag's services in sustainable product assessments have become the longest established and largest ecolabel program in South Africa, certifying products and materials for some of the region's finest sustainable manufacturers and playing an important role to highlight local, exemplary, ethical product manufacturers and supporting the growing needs of conscious, green buyers in the market with trusted, third-party assessed, certified and verified product information.

The Global GreenTag CertTM system assesses and then ranks products through leading LCA based product ecolabelling and rating schemes. GreenTag also provides third party, assessed product declaration programs, including an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), a Product Health Declaration (PHD) and a Modern Slavery Declaration (MSD) program, the first product level declaration of its kind in the world, designed to help manufacturers and procurement teams eliminate incidences of modern slavery in global supply chains.

GreenTag's certification programs operate against three technical standards (building, cleaning and personal care) with a new and fourth technical standard and product declaration becoming available in 2023. The Global GreenTag NaturePositive+ Standard™ and NaturePositive+ Declaration™ will be another first in the product certification field and will close the nature gap to certify products for the Circular Economy by providing metrics that engage nature restoration and regeneration.

Around the world, Global GreenTag has over 16,000 products under certification in over 22 countries and for over 230 world-leading green manufacturers.
