At BabyDan we strive to create products that are sustainable enough to be Cradle to Cradle Certified®
Because we believe the concept of safety makes no sense unless we also take responsibility for the environment in which children grow up and the world they will inhabit tomorrow.
As a manufacturer, we have a special responsibility for ensuring responsible production.
We need to manage our ressource usage carefully. We need to minimize our environmental impact. We need to encourage and support social fairness.
As a guideline for this, we use the requirements for being Cradle to Cradle Certified®. We use them as our aiming points in the process of making our products more and more sustainable every day.
What does Cradle to Cradle Certified® mean?
The Cradle to Cradle Certified Products Program is the world’s most ambitious, actionable standard for designing and making products today in ways that enable a healthy, equitable and sustainable tomorrow.
The certification verifies that products are safe, circular and responsibly made.
Unlike other certifications, which tend to focus on a singular measure of sustainability, Cradle to Cradle Certified assesses all aspects of product design and manufacturing by evaluating a product’s performance across five categories.
Cradle to Cradle Certified® enables companies to:
- Prioritize action across five critical aspects of sustainability
(Material Health, Product Circularity, Clean Air & Climate Protection, Water & Soil Stewardship, Social Fairness). - Enact roadmaps for change, from product innovation to operations.
- Transform business models, systems and collaboration throughout the value chain.
- Verify sustainability performance and measure progress.
- Lead industry transformation towards a safe, circular and equitable future.
Cradle to Cradle Certified is an independent product certification awarded by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute.
Companies must work with an independent assessment body to assess and verify a product’s performance across each of the Cradle to Cradle Certified performance categories. And the Cradle to Cradle Certified certification must be renewed every two years
