Global GreenTag’s LCRate scores products against six main Sustainability Assessment Criteria and a further twenty plus Life Cycle and Social Criteria:
The most comprehensive certification on the planet.
One certification to access them all.
GreenTag is recognised by the most prominent certification schemes in the world. Whatsmore, if a product doesn’t pass fit-for purpose tests, we won’t even assess it, so you can be sure the product you are purchasing or specifying is safe and healthy for your needs and better for nature’s.
LCARate: Four levels of attainment.
GreenTag’s LCARate program is for consumers and professionals who want to understand the overall sustainability of products compared to a worst case ‘Business as Usual’ product.
It awards products on four levels, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, which help buyers choose and manufacturers improve.
It also helps professionals meet the Green Building Council of Australia’s Green Star® ‘Life Cycle Impacts’ credits with its EPD reporting. LCARate™ is also relevant to Infrastructure professionals working with the ‘IS’ rating tool from the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia.
