The mission of GCC is to be known as the Gold Standard for third-party certification of the leading green/sustainable products and services on the planet.

By issuing a GreenCircle certification, GreenCircle Certified, LLC demonstrates that it has evaluated and verified the information provided by the Manufacturer and that, based on the information received by GreenCircle, the Manufacturer is capable of, and consistently produces, a product that is in compliance with their sustainability claim. By applying the GreenCircle certification mark to a product, the Manufacturer warrants that the product meets all relevant requirements of the GreenCircle Certification System for the claim.
