Global GreenTag Sustainability Actions

Assisting More Sustainable, Healthy & Ethical Purchasing

Global GreenTag operates on several levels towards environmental actions: 1. We facilitate professionals' action within the procurement and design sectors towards purchasing and specifying ecologically, health and ethical supply chain preferred products; 2. We help Consumers cut through the marketing hype, eliminating 'greenwash' and provide purchasing decision-assisting certification TAGs that appear on-shelf product labels in stores like Bunnings; 3. We partner and collaborate with other website and product portals like Sustainability Tracker & Sustainable Choice, Archify, Loud Library, Evitat Australia, Green Building Council of Australia, Products Aware and others to maximise the ease and efficiency of finding certified products by distributing certification and reporting information freely to portals where people are already searching.

Autex NZ Delivers First NaturePositive+ Declaration Product for Construction Industry

Global GreenTag International has supported delivery of the first construction related product to receive certification under the Global GreenTag International NaturePositive+ Standard™. The acoustic thermal and acoustic panel product made by Autex Industries New Zealand – Embrace™ Wool Felt - underwent the rigorous and holistic, GreenTag NaturePositive+ Declaration™ assessment process, successfully being certified at a PLATINUM level NaturePositive+ Rating of 160 percent. The key results from the investigation found that the product: ✔ Uses more than 99.5% of renewable resources with Autex giving priority focus to the protection of biodiversity during manufacture. ✔ Benefits the environment with minimal negative environmental impacts and of equal importance, delivers net positive benefits to the environment in its own right. ✔ Also, the product achieves high levels of product health that benefit human health and wellbeing along the product's supply chains, and for the lifecycle of the product to the end of its life, and beyond. The GreenTag NaturePositive+ Standard and NaturePositive+ Declaration program marks a new benchmark in the certification sector for manufacturing in the built environment and other industries. It is a first of its kind in the world, marking also a new standard for manufacturing. It centers processes on nature repair, enabling progressive and conscientious product manufacturers like Autex to improve their value chain by not just using carbon measurements as a focus to counter climate change, but to use biodiversity as the primary focus of achieving carbon drawdown. Autex's Embrace Stretch Wool product achieved points across the ten assessment indicators used by the NaturePositive+ program to measure and uncover its profile and prominence as a NaturePositive+ made product, including Innovative product design that is Nature Positive forward in providing verified outcomes for Circular Economy projects for the construction industry and majority use of renewable resources (>99.5%). The NaturePositive+ Declaration (NP+D) program in its fullness is a deep dive into manufacturing processes. This case exemplifies athe commitment of a manufacturers to open the data of its product completely for a robust sequence of assessments. The process enabled GreenTag not only to measure the real-world Life Cycle Assessed (LCA) impacts of the product but importantly, it also allowed everybody to see how far the product had come by sending it through a unique Life Cycle Benefits Analysis (LCBA) as well, which is provided by The Evah Institute, Associates of GreenTag of many years. LCBA allows us to see what a product has achieved in terms of how it benefits people, nature and resources. Tracking benefits and impacts is so important for the future of manufacturing to track and chart progress toward nature-repair because benefits are not being captured by any other system currently. NP+Ds give manufacturers an assessment and certification pathway to scientifically investigate and holistically measure their own products' progress and plan for the future. The process ultimately encourages manufacturers to step up and provide products that can be verified as Nature Positive and ready for true Circular Economy and Nature Positive projects that align with both the World Green Building Council's 2025-2027 Strategic Plan and the Green Building Council of Australia's Building with Nature roadmap."
