Sustainability Guide

What each of the 22 labels on our product pages actually means

Certifications vs. attributes

Certifications are verified by an independent organisation — someone outside the brand has checked the claim. Attributes describe a product's characteristics and are generally declared by the brand itself. Both are useful, but a certification is a stronger signal, so they are listed first below.
