Operations Certifications
Have you integrated sustainable processes into your building or manufacturing facility? GreenCircle offers the following Buildings and Operations Certifications to verify these achievements and assist you in communicating them to the marketplace.
WASTE DIVERSION FROM LANDFILL
Waste Diversion from Landfill demonstrates your commitment to the responsible management of end-of-life materials. GreenCircle will validate a percentage of waste a company or manufacturing facility diverts from landfill.
ZERO WASTE TO LANDFILL
At GreenCircle Certified, Zero Waste to Landfill means that your company or manufacturing facility has diverted 100% of your waste from going to landfill. Our team audits your company’s waste and your material management organizations to verify this claim.
RENEWABLE ENERGY USE
The use of renewable energy can reduce the embodied carbon of a product and the organization's carbon footprint. If you still have ownership of your Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), GreenCircle can certify the carbon footprint reduction associated with this renewable energy use.
SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING PRACTICES
Sustainable manufacturing integrates practices that reduce the environmental impacts of the manufactured product. This includes closed-loop and industrial ecology processes, reduction of waste and emissions, water conservation, and energy efficiency practices.
CARBON EMISSIONS
REDUCTION
GreenCircle will certify your organization's claim for carbon emissions reduction based on a detailed analysis of your operations, energy consumption, energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy use, and greenhouse gas emissions.
Our Commitment
GreenCircle does not receive funding from any external affiliations or industry groups. Each client is charged a fee for service and certification is not guaranteed unless data requirements in the audit plan are met and analysis determines the claim can be certified.
GreenCircle accepts feedback or comments for our continuous improvement. Please fill out this form to provide us with your comments.
GreenCircle investigates complaints and appeals in compliance with its Appeals, Complaints and Disputes Procedure. In the case of complaints against the actions of an GreenCircle client, the complainant should first attempt to resolve the issue with that client prior to requesting that GreenCircle become involved. In the case of appeals, the appellant must lodge its appeal with GreenCircle against any adverse decision taken by GreenCircle within thirty (30) calendar days after notification of the decision.
GreenCircle will not compromise the integrity and impartiality of our third-party auditing of sustainability claims. We document the sustainability achievement of a client in accordance with the GreenCircle specific Audit Plan and Certification Procedure, based on a certification audit in accordance with the GreenCircle Certification Scheme.
