The Process
The manufacturer supplies information about the factory and the manufacturing process. This information is reviewed by BRE Global and verified with a site audit. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modelling to derive the environmental profile then takes around ten weeks. On completion of the profiling, a client obtains a Certificate, a Certified Environmental Profile, a Green Guide rating (if the product type is covered in the Guide), and a report of the assessment findings.
