SUSTAINABLE FUNERAL INDUSTRY

Exemplar of commitment

The Greener Globe Funeral Standard (GGFS) is an environmental certification specifically designed for the funeral industry. A traditional funeral typically has a sizeable ecological footprint. The GGFS has designed a sustainability audit system specifically to make the funeral industry more environmentally conscious and thus operate more sustainably in terms of processes, methods, and materials. In doing so, the Greener Globe Funeral Standard makes ‘green’ development transparent and demonstrable.

GGFS has four certification levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. A company receives a Bronze Award when it can demonstrate that it operates according to a sustainable policy. A higher distinction can be obtained by completing an online audit, which evaluates various business aspects.

Based on this evaluation, a score is assigned:

• A Silver Award is granted with a score of up to 60%.

• A Gold Award is granted with a score between 61% and 80%.

• A Platinum Award is granted with a score higher than 80%.

Platinum Award

We are very proud to announce that Global Products Group has achieved the 2024 Platinum Award. A result that once again confirms the commitment of Global Products Group's management system to a sustainable business policy. An achievement that we could more easily achieve through our accumulated experience and by applying the guidelines of the CSR Performance Ladder as a tool. And an appreciation of the collective passion, commitment and efforts of our entire team. We are pleased to report that we have achieved this certification again in 2025.
