The Greenhealth Approved seal was developed to make identifying sustainable products easier for health care product purchasers. Our Greenhealth Approved program uses the trusted criteria of Health Care Without Harm to identify products with appropriate sustainability features. The program uses a structured and comprehensive method for data collection and review. The suppliers’ data is used to validate that the sustainability criteria have been met.
