The Singapore Green Label signals to buyers, procurement teams and regulators that your product has been independently verified to rigorous environmental standards — from raw materials to end of life. It is the only Type 1 Ecolabel in Singapore accredited under ISO 14024 and recognised by the Global Ecolabelling Network.
Government and procurement recognition
The Singapore Green Label is recognised by ministries, statutory boards and procurement professionals across Singapore. Green Label certified products are preferred in public sector tenders and government green procurement policies — giving your product a clear advantage when bidding for government contracts.
Procurement advantageInternational credibility
SEC has been a member of the Global Ecolabelling Network since 2003, and in 2011 became accredited under GENICES — GEN’s international peer-review programme. It is the only ecolabel in Singapore to hold this accreditation, meaning your certification is recognised and trusted internationally.
International recognitionAccess to new markets through Mutual Recognition Agreements
Through Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) with GEN member ecolabels, SGLS certified products in eligible categories can apply for recognition in partner countries — significantly reducing the time and cost of entering international markets. Each MRA covers specific product categories negotiated between the two ecolabelling bodies.

Competitive advantage
By 2028, sustainability will factor into all Singapore Government procurement under the GreenGov.SG initiative. Private buyers and consumers are moving the same way — environmental credentials increasingly shape what they choose.
The Green Label is a clear, recognised signal that your product meets that bar — and a reason for buyers to pick it over an uncertified alternative.
Brand differentiationReduced environmental impact
Certification follows a life cycle assessment approach — covering raw materials, manufacturing, packaging and end-of-life. The robust, independently audited criteria prevent greenwashing and give consumers and procurement officers confidence that environmental claims are verified, not just claimed.
Environmental performanceOperational efficiency and cost savings
The certification process identifies redundant or inefficient manufacturing practices. Addressing these can lead to reductions in energy and water usage, and lower operating costs over time.
