Our History

GreenCircle Certified was established in 2009 by our founders, Tara and Tad Radzinski, after encountering many unsubstantiated claims in the marketplace. Tara and Tad co-founded GreenCircle because they have the fundamental belief that the world should know about your commitment to sustainability. 

At GreenCircle, we understand that your customers are putting pressure on you to be more transparent, which makes you feel like you’re going to get left behind. GreenCircle's rigorous evaluation process provides independent verification that your sustainability claims are valid so that you can get ahead of your competition. Manufacturers, suppliers, regulators, occupants, and consumers can trust that your GreenCircle Certified products and operations claims have been thoroughly assessed and verified to applicable standards.

Our Commitment

GreenCircle will not compromise the integrity and impartiality of our third-party auditing of sustainability claims. We document the sustainability achievement of a client in accordance with the GreenCircle specific Audit Plan and Certification Procedure, based on a certification audit in accordance with the GreenCircle Certification Scheme.

GreenCircle does not receive funding from any external affiliations or industry groups. Each client is charged a fee for service and certification is not guaranteed unless data requirements in the audit plan are met and analysis determines the claim can be certified.
