Eco-certification programs
Eco-certification programs are voluntary standards that verify products, services, or companies meet specific environmental and sustainability criteria. They help consumers identify environmentally responsible options by ensuring practices like reducing pollution, conserving resources, and protecting ecosystems. These certifications, such as ENERGY STAR or FSC, involve third-party assessments to promote transparency and accountability. By choosing eco-certified products, consumers support sustainable practices, encourage companies to improve environmental performance, and contribute to global efforts to reduce ecological impact.
