Verifying the sustainability claims of industrial design suppliers (checklist)

Look for certifications like LEED, Green Label Singapore, or ISO 14001. These indicate adherence to environmental standards.
Ask for detailed material specifications, including recycled content, VOC emissions, and sourcing practices. Request third-party verification if possible.
Enquire about their energy usage, waste management, water conservation, and pollution control measures. Look for suppliers that demonstrate a commitment to reducing their environmental footprint.
Look for fair labor practices, ethical sourcing, and community involvement. Ask about their policies on worker safety, wages, and human rights.
Request certifications, test reports, life cycle assessments, and environmental product declarations (EPDs). These documents provide evidence to support their sustainability claims.
