Answer 2

Founded in 1989, Green Seal provides science-based environmental certification standards that are credible, transparent, and essential in an increasingly educated and competitive marketplace. Our industry knowledge and standards help manufacturers, purchasers, and end users alike make responsible choices that positively impact business behavior and improve quality of life.
A 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, Green Seal issued its first environmental standards in 1991-2, and the first product certifications were completed in 1992. Hundreds of products and services from major companies such as 3M, Benjamin Moore, and Andersen Windows have now been certified to meet Green Seal standards, and the number of major product categories covered by standards has increased to more than 40.

Today, we have established a significant market among large institutional purchasers, including government agencies, universities, and the lodging and architectural building industries. We actively advise and assist these institutions and industry sectors in their efforts to green their purchasing, operations, and facilities management functions.

Answer 3

Green Seal works with manufacturers, industry sectors, purchasing groups, and governments at all levels to "green" the production and purchasing chain. We utilize a life-cycle approach, which means we evaluate a product or service beginning with material extraction, continuing with manufacturing and use, and ending with recycling and disposal. Products only become Green Seal certified after rigorous testing and evaluation, including on-site plant visits. Green Seal's specific programs include:

* Standards and Certification — development of environmental leadership standards for specific product categories and certification of products and services that meet them

* Greening Your Government — technical assistance to all levels of government in their purchasing, operations, and facilities management

* Choose Green Reports — technical reports on products in a variety of categories giving specific brand recommendations of those that meet screening criteria

* Greening the Lodging Industry — long-term project with hotels and motels to green their operations and purchasing, including certification of specific properties

* Policy — leadership in green procurement policy (product recommendations), international policy for ecolabeling, etc.
