SUSTAINABLE CLAIM VERIFICATION (SCV) SerVICE OVERVIEW


YOUR CHALLENGE

The risks of greenwashing can be severe, which include damage to a company's reputation, loss of consumer trust, and legal and financial repercussions.  Companies that make unsubstantiated claims about the environmental benefits of their products can be accused of misleading consumers, which can result in costly lawsuits.

Violating green legislations such as CMA’s green claims code and FTC’s green guides are just one of many pitfalls which your business should avoid.  As well, there are other considerations to avoid when you are making your green claims such as how do you make sure the eco-labels you use are linked to the certification schemes
which are legitimate?  How do you verify the certification which your supplier has provided is valid?

HOW DO YOU AVOID GREENWASHING?

To avoid greenwashing and verify your claims, it is important to provide traceable evidence and documents to back up your claims. You should also be aware of any relevant regulations and standards, and make sure that you adhere to them.  Additionally, you should strive to get third-party certification companies to help to verify your claims and provide a level of assurance to your customers.
