The Cradle to Cradle Certified(CM) Products Program provides a company with a means to demonstrate efforts in eco-intelligent design. Cradle to Cradle Certification is a third-party sustainability label that requires achievement across multiple attributes:

• use materials that are safe for human health and the environment through all use phases
• product and system design for material reutilization, such as recycling or composting
• use of renewable energy
• efficient use of water, and maximum water quality associated with production
• company strategies for social responsibility.

Cradle to Cradle certification is a four-tiered approach consisting of Basic, Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels. This certification program applies to materials, sub-assemblies and finished products.

Cradle to Cradle CertifiedCM is a certification mark sublicensed by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute.
