Why We're Different

Green Seal is a name you can trust

Discover how you can get involved in Green Seal.
Green Seal's standard-setting process is open, collaborative, fair, and completely transparent. We don't develop our standards in an ivory tower. We have many built-in checks that ensure we are unbiased, realistic, and that the products we certify reach high levels of performance and quality. Learn more about how we certify products.
  • Green Seal develops its standards with widespread input from industry, government, academia, and the public.

  • A new standard is broadly circulated for review and comment to a diverse group of stakeholders, including manufacturers, trade associations, universities, environmental and consumer groups, government officials, and the public.

  • When the final standard is published, we provide a written response to all the comments received, and open the standard to a formal appeal.

  • We periodically review and update our standards to reflect advances in technology and the marketplace.
