There are 10 different badges to choose from, and each one has different requirements in order to be claimed.
What are the badges for?
Badges are awarded as end-consumer translations of all supply chain information, materials in a product, and good sustainable practices. Since a typical value creation is abstract and difficult to understand, and there are countless certifications or memberships for consumers to understand, we have developed with global leading sustainability agencies badges derived from existing information.
