About The Green Product Awards
Since 2013, the international Green Product Award and the Green Concept Award have been recognizing outstanding sustainable products, services, and forward-looking concepts. The awards, seals, and certificates are granted based on transparent criteria and an independent expert evaluation by a panel of experts. This provides credible recognition and strengthens a company’s positioning with customers in Germany and on international markets.
Every year, the Green Product Awards receives submissions from over 50 countries.
