A greener path in the value-chain

Many organizations have set themselves the long term goal (2030-2050) of becoming energy or climate neutral. KiwaGREEN label is developed to support all organizations to achieve a greener path in their value-chain. The label acknowledges ‘green programs or green elements’ of organization’s product and/or process through certification.
