Sustainable Product Certification

Sustainable product certification solutions from UL Solutions help you show eco-conscious consumers how your products help them live in safer, more secure and sustainable ways.

Sustainable product certification: A key in surging eco-economy

The demand for sustainable products is coming from multiple stakeholders, including retailers, consumers and investors. A heightened awareness among consumers that green products help us live a safer, more secure and sustainable lifestyle is putting pressure on brands and retailers to focus on product sustainability.  Additionally, investors are asking companies to take concrete steps toward sustainability such as certifying the sustainability of their products. Investment management company BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, showed their commitment to supporting sustainability when it called for companies it invests in to issue annual key sustainability metrics reports.

In this climate, companies want to find a way to differentiate their products and demonstrate sustainability.  Big retailers are making commitments to sell more sustainable products. Amazon’s Climate Pledge Friendly initiative, which is designed to help consumers shop for more sustainable products, is one example. Amazon partnered with trusted third-party certification providers like UL Solutions, and selected products with our ECOLOGO® Certification mark, to help shoppers simplify their search for sustainable products on Amazon.

So, one thing is for certain: the pursuit of sustainable product certification partners is on.
