Why should the Evergreen Assured™ Standard of Commitment
be important to me?
Green-washing has caused the American consumer to be highly suspicious
of “green” claims from vendors of products and services
in all industries. While there are standards in the US building industry
there is no stamp of approval for products meeting corporate and social
responsibility standards, backed by a recognized and respected organization
with education at its roots. The Evergreen Assured™ Standard fills
this gap, and lets consumers know that your organization is committed
to sustainability and green practices.
Who is the Evergreen consumer?
Evergreen consumers are socially conscious, believe in environmentally
prudent design, and demand transparency from the companies from which
they purchase products and services. The Evergreen Assured™ Standard
gives your consumer the confidence that he or she has made the right
choice.
Why is it important?
We have moved into a time when more and more consumers recognize that
environmentally responsible design and production have become an integral
part of their purchasing decision. The Evergreen Assured™ Standard
of Commitment sends a clear message that you care about improving the
health of the planet. As businesses have begun to realize that environmental
priorities can be translated into a market advantage they have turned

By identifying and promoting environmentally responsible products and
services, the Evergreen Assured™ Standard of Commitment lets your
