Nature Positive Building: The Future of Sustainable Product Certification
Join us for our next Weathertex Wednesday Live Webinar featuring special guest speaker David Baggs, Founder & CEO of Global GreenTag International.
As sustainability expectations continue to evolve across the built environment, understanding the role of independent product certification has never been more important. In this session, we'll explore the growing importance of verified sustainability credentials, the emergence of Nature Positive+ certification, and how third-party certification is helping specifiers, builders and industry professionals make more informed product decisions.
The discussion will examine the significance of Weathertex Natural Range recently becoming the first cladding manufactured product range to achieve Nature Positive+ Platinum certification, and what this milestone means for the future of sustainable building products and specification.
Together, Weathertex and Global GreenTag will discuss:
- · What Nature Positive+ certification is and why it was developed
- · The significance of Weathertex becoming the first cladding manufacturer to achieve Nature Positive+ Platinum certification for their Natural Range
- · Why third-party certifications are becoming increasingly important within the building industry
- · The role of verified sustainability credentials in product specification, procurement and sustainability reporting
- · How certifications support Green Star, Responsible Products and other sustainability frameworks
- · Future trends and developments for GreenTag and sustainable building certification
