Global GreenTag International begins the transition to a new credit verification system
Global GreenTag's CEO and Program Director have announced together the launch of an exciting new era for Global GreenTag product certification.
Global GreenTag International CEO, David Baggs, and Program Director, Dr Nana Bortsie-Aryee, have announced the first steps towards implementing a dynamic new credit verification system for products assessed under the GreenTag standards.
The new system that will be rolled out by Global GreenTag's assessment team from now until the new year is strategic, says Dr Nana-Bortsie-Aryee.
"It has been developed to stay in alignment with the continual development of green building rating tools. It is a rigorous re-design to prevent greenwashing by making it easier for the market to select products that improve sustainability by providing verified accuracy of sustainable product claims, in alignment with and recognition by the leading green building tools.
The first step that we are making, says Dr Nana-Bortsie-Aryee, will be the removal of all listed credits from Global GreenTag's LCARate™, GreenRate™ and Best Environmental Practice PVC™ (BEPPVC™) certificates, adding:
"We want to assure clients during this phase, that the green building tool credits, which their products will have access to under our programs, will for the interim be included in the certification completion letters that are sent out by the GreenTag product assessment team."
