Has Responsible Material Sourcing Certification
A raw material in the product was extracted, farmed, or produced at sites independently audited against a sector-specific responsible-production standard (covering issues like environmental management, community impact, labour rights, and governance), and — where a chain-of-custody scope exists — tracked from those sites into the product. This is a claim about how the material was sourced and produced, not about the finished product's carbon footprint, chemical content, or overall environmental impact.
