Making Sustainable Procurement Easier

Laboratory procurement teams are increasingly being asked to consider sustainability alongside traditional purchasing criteria like price, performance, and availability.But independent sustainability data has been difficult to find, compare, and incorporate into purchasing decisions.

The ACT Ecolabel Channel Partners close this gap, making independently verified sustainability data a standard and accessible part of the purchasing process.

Through ACT Ecolabel Channel Partners, buyers can:

• Find sustainability focused data where they already purchase products.
• Compare products using consistent sustainability criteria.
• Make informed purchasing decisions with confidence in verified data.
• Find manufacturers committed to product integrity and transparency
• Support organizational sustainability goals and Scope 3 initiatives.

The ACT Ecolabel is the only third-party verified ecolabel for laboratory products, delivering transparent, standardized sustainability data through a science-based certification framework.

Developed with input from sustainability professionals, manufacturers, procurement teams, and scientists, the ACT Ecolabel delivers independently verified product sustainability data that purchasers can trust.
