Your advantages
The GfaW as standard setter
The quality standards we set ourselves for certification in combination with sustainability lead to great products: Our certifications.
Our concern to develop certification systems not from an ivory tower, but together with you as a stakeholder and driver of transformation, enables you to play an active role in shaping the certification programs.
Your quality promise at a glance
Certification is a form of condensed marketing. It enables you to communicate multiple aspects of your company or product quality with a single seal.
If your products or even your entire company are certified, this means:
- You have gone through a demanding process
- You have passed one or more rigorous tests
- You continuously maintain a defined level of quality
A quality seal therefore combines three central messages:
- Tested quality
- High standards
- Consistent performance
A certification seal is therefore more than just a symbol – it is a promise to your customers and proof of your commitment to excellence.
Becoming a pioneer in sustainability
Our company certification offers you the opportunity to be a decisive step ahead. With this comprehensive certification, you go far beyond individual products – your entire company is tested and assessed according to the demanding CSE criteria.
Successful certification opens up a wide range of opportunities for you:
- You can publish verified statements on your company’s sustainability performance.
- You are positioning yourself as a pioneer in sustainability.
- They already meet tomorrow’s requirements today.
Sustained success on the market
With our recognized ecological product certifications NCP, NCS or NATURE THANX, you send a strong signal of your commitment to quality and sustainability. These seals are more than just a symbol – they are a promise to your customers and proof of your continuous pursuit of environmentally conscious excellence.
All this speaks for our product certifications:
- Reliability and protection – Our quality seals are registered and protected in Europe as Union guarantee marks. This offers consumers the security of being able to rely on our seals.
- Part of a responsible community: By using our seals, you become part of a circle of companies that are committed to providing reliable environmentally conscious products.
- Access to new markets: For certain distribution channels, such as organic markets, our seals act as an entry ticket and open up new business opportunities for you.
- Conformity with the Green Claims Directive: Our seals meet the requirements of the Green Claims Directive. This enables you to make verified environmental claims about your products based on the content of our standards.
With our ecological product certifications, you demonstrate your commitment to sustainable quality. They send a clear signal for environmental awareness and consumer transparency – for a greener future in harmony with nature.
