Certification brings positive impacts and better traceability to business

Eco-labels and other sustainability marks on products are the way that most people experience certification. They are a window into production practices that might have taken place thousands of miles away – the connection between a forester in Brazil and a new piece of furniture; or a fishery in the North Atlantic and a meal of fish and chips; or a tea picker in Kenya and a morning beverage. But it is not only consumers who depend on labels to make informed decisions, it is also retailers and many other participants in the supply chain who are looking to improve their performance.
