ISEAL’s Challenge the Label campaign

ISEAL’s Challenge the Label campaign is well under way and we are seeing a positive response from the media and businesses.  We’ve seen more media exposure than ISEAL has ever had before. The Challenge the Label tool helps company buyers who are faced with numerous sustainability labels to test which claims are credible. With five clear universal truths of what makes a credible claim, the tool will drive understanding of which labels are really credible, benefitting those standards  who work hard to deliver positive impact. Now’s the time to make sure you are including Challenge the Label in all your communication channels.Help ISEAL spread the word…
