green certification organizations

Green certification organizations are entities that verify and validate environmental sustainability practices in products, buildings, and companies. They establish standards to promote eco-friendly processes, resource efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. Certifications such as LEED for buildings or Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for wood products help consumers identify environmentally responsible choices. These organizations assess criteria related to energy use, waste management, materials, and overall sustainability, providing credibility and encouraging organizations to adopt greener practices for healthier ecosystems and communities.
