About the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute:
The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute™ (GEI) is an industry-independent, non-profit organization that oversees the GREENGUARD Certification Program for low-emitting products, including the establishment of acceptable standards for interior products and testing protocols. The GEI’s mission is to improve public health and quality of life by helping manufacturers build better and safer products and to provide the public with a free indoor air quality resource and guide to readily available low-emitting products. The GEI oversees the certification process, including all audits and qualifying criteria for each product and product category. A Certification Advisory Board consisting of independent volunteers, who are renowned experts in the areas of indoor air quality, public and environmental health, building design and construction, and public policy, provides guidance and leadership to the GEI.
