Greenwashing”: industry now able to provide independent proof for environmental claims.

With accusations of greenwashing increasing, industry urgently needed independent proof that environmental and sustainability claims have been established based on agreed methodology and best practice. The IEC, through IECQ, the IEC Quality Assessment System is providing an independent verification service. This service, which covers net zero (based on ISO 14067), circular economy and hazardous substances use, is available to most industry sectors and for many products and devices which cater to homes, offices, manufacturing, communication and more.
