What are the bluesign Criteria?
bluesign® CRITERIA:
■ The “rules” each SYSTEM PARTNER must adhere to
■ The CRITERIA includes all governmental regulations + stakeholder guidelines and specific bluesign requirements
■ There are exclusion criteria; absolute minimums any potential SYSTEM PARTNER must at least meet
■ If a potential partner does not meet these they are encouraged to fix those problems and re-apply in a few years
bluesign® conducts on-site assessments to understand the environmental and chemical management status of the facility against bluesign requirements, called the bluesign® CRITERIA. A specific action plan is shared with the facility to close the gaps observed during the assessment in order to achieve responsible production with the use of safe chemistry and with responsible consumption of resources (water, energy, chemistry), reducing environmental impact.
