When we shop for furniture, beds, and other decor, it’s not uncommon to see a Greenguard Gold logo on certain products. The green-colored logo certifies a product has low chemical emissions. The majority of our chemical exposure happens through the air we breathe, including indoor air.

To reduce exposure to air pollutants, we can rely on certifications like Greenguard Gold. The Greenguard Environmental Institute (GEI), corporately styled as GREENGUARD, offers certification programs to maintain low chemical emissions. The GEI is an industry-independent, third-party, non-profit organization, whose certifications are recognized globally. UL Environment, a global safety certification company, acquired the GEI in 2011.
