Certifications

The framework includes certifications, registrations, or memberships that address environmental performance, product safety, labor standards, and broader responsible business practices.

No. Scopes vary - some are product-specific; others apply at the brand, facility, or company level.

S&S customers may request materials that explain how a certification or registration applies or confirm membership status, offering clarity behind the claim. Where certificates and registrations are published online, they can be accessed through the Certifications Page. If a specific certificate or registration is not listed online, additional documentation may be available upon request depending on certification scope and brand participation.

A test report provides results from a specific lab test, while a certification verifies that a product, facility, or company meets an established standard and can claim it. Certifications are issued by independent third parties, whereas test reports may come from third-party or in-house labs.

Certification and registration documentation is reviewed and updated as renewal documentation becomes available or certification status changes. S&S maintains internal validation processes to support certification transparency and documentation management.
