The Green Button Guide has been updated

The Green Button Standard 2.0(.1) has been applied for over three years now. During this time, all stakeholders have clarified, learned, and improved upon key points. This is reflected in the updated Green Button Guide. Based on exchanges, discussions, and emails with companies and certification bodies, as well as a detailed evaluation of audit reports, key topics that required interpretation and clarification were identified and incorporated into the guide. In this way, the Green Button ensures that all indicators are understood and applied consistently. This strengthens the credibility of the certification and provides certainty for all relevant stakeholders regarding the application and interpretation of corporate due diligence processes.

The German version of the updated guidelines will be published first; the English version will follow in the upcoming weeks. If you urgently need the English version, please contact info@gruener-knopf.de.
