Build Trust In Your Product’s Sustainability Claims
Connect With Consumers Using Trusted Product Marks
We offer a comprehensive range of voluntary marks to help manufacturers demonstrate their product’s conformity to set criteria. Independent verification creates transparency, closing the gap between manufacturer, retailer, and consumer, and enabling buyers to make better informed purchasing decisions.
SGS Independently Checked Mark (IC Mark): shows conformity with defined criteria for quality, performance, durability, functionality, usability, workmanship, and preferred material status
SGS Performance Mark: demonstrates a product’s claimed feature, performance or function has been verified by a third-party laboratory
SGS Environmental Claims Certification Scheme (Green Mark): independent certification against defined assessment protocols for specific environmental claims
Ecolabeling is now common in consumer product markets. Environmental claims are made for everything from plastic cups to clothing and electronic devices. Making claims is easy, substantiating them is not. Fragmented markets are contaminated by ‘greenwashing’ claims, creating confusion and reducing consumer trust. SGS Green Mark helps you build trust in your product’s sustainability claims. Our independent assessment scheme based on recognized standards such as ISO 17065, ISO 17029, ISO 14065 and ISO 14021. Our comprehensive service ensures your product has passed all defined criteria, giving you the confidence to make claims and allowing you to differentiate your product in markets. We cover a wide variety of environmental attributes for clothing and footwear products:
Biodegradability
Biobased Content
Hazardous Substance

They have provided us with trusted testing and market surveillance services and, although certification can be complicated, we have gained considerable experience of the international inspection process. Obtaining SGS ICM certification has definitely been worth it.
“‘Flexibility’ comes to my mind when I describe the experience of working with SGS. COVID-19 has significantly impacted business operations and supply chains over the last two years.
