Cradle to Cradle Certified® Listed Facility
One verified facility, many product certifications
Cradle to Cradle Certified® Listed Facility streamlines the path to certifying multiple products in a manufacturing facility – whether its brand-owned or contract manufacturer – saving significant time and cost along the way.
Facilities are assessed and verified to meet the facility-specific requirements under the C2C Certified® Product Standard (Full Scope) Version 5.0, across the impact categories of Clean Air & Climate Protection, Water & Soil Stewardship, and Social Fairness. These requirements apply to the manufacturing processes across the entire facility – not just to the subset involved in making a single or a specific range of Cradle to Cradle Certified® products.
Once a facility earns its listing, any product manufactured there can move through the certification process without additional facilities-level data collection, an in-person site visit, and verification of the facility requirements. This significantly reduces the time, effort and cost for both the certifying brand and the facility owner.
Both brand-owned facilities and contract manufacturers (i.e., third-party and outsourced manufacturers, and suppliers) can participate. Companies can also choose to have their listed facilities featured on this website, showcasing their commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
Facilities are listed for three years, with an interim compliance check and relisting process to maintain their status.
