About the Program
What is Greenhealth Approved? Why was it developed?

+

The Greenhealth Approved Seal signals to purchasers that a product has been reviewed for environmental features and found to meet our criteria. The criteria, dependent on the product category, focuses on chemical content, responsible manufacturing, packaging, and impact during use.

The program was developed to help health care providers quickly identify more sustainable products. Greenhealth Approved reduces the time-consuming, and sometimes costly product reviews that are needed to research and interpret sustainability features.

Is the Greenhealth Approved Seal used beyond health care?

+

While the Greenhealth Approved Seal was developed with a primary focus on healthcare, its principles of environmental sustainability and human health extend far beyond. The Seal is a powerful tool for any organization, from schools and government buildings to hotels and private businesses, that wants to ensure its products contribute to a healthier and more sustainable environment.

What does the review entail and how do you determine if a product qualifies for the Greenhealth Approved Seal?

+

The review process starts with data collection and supplier questionnaires. Products being vetted must include full ingredient disclosure. The submitted data is reviewed by Greenhealth Approved's team of experts. In limited cases, outside experts may be consulted.
