The Singapore Green Label signals to buyers, procurement teams and regulators that your product has been independently verified to the highest 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
Following ISO 14024 and verified through the GEN ICES international assurance programme. SEC has been a member of the Global Ecolabelling Network since 2006 and is the only eco-labelling body in Singapore verified by international auditors. This means your certification is recognised and trusted globally.
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
9 in 10 Singapore youths say they want businesses to adopt more sustainable practices. Green certification differentiates your product in a market where environmental credentials are increasingly a procurement requirement and a consumer expectation. The Green Label gives buyers confidence to choose your product over uncertified alternatives.
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 often leads to measurable reductions in energy and water usage — with some companies reporting significant operational cost savings within the first year of certification.
