Corporate Knights has inventoried over 1000 eco-certifications, also known as ‘ecolabels’, identifying over 200 that are ‘fit for purpose’ – meaning their credibility and relevancy to the sustainability transition is of the highest standard and can thus be used for quantifying revenues that align with the definitions of sustainable production set out in the Corporate Knights Sustainable Economy Taxonomy. Scroll down to engage with our interactive eco-certifications database.
More about the Eco-Certifications Database:
In seeking to recognize only the ecolabels that have the utmost credibility and that make a real difference in combatting “greenwashing,” Corporate Knights designed a stringent screening system to approve or reject ecolabels based on a number of key attributes, namely:
- a disclosed, credible methodology
- third-party verified
- requirements to maintain certification
- governance structure of the certifying body prevents greenwashing
- process- and outcome-oriented
Failure to achieve any of these results in rejection of the label.
This short list of accepted certifications is global in scope and covers a wide range of industries, from consumer goods such as clothing and food, to buildings and pharmaceuticals. To learn more about our approach to using eco-certifications, read our full white paper here.
