Lunch & Learn Series for Product Manufacturers - Product Certification

Welcome to GBCA’s Lunch & Learn Series for Product Manufacturers. Building on our Responsible Products webinar, this series is designed to deep dive into some of the most important challenges product manufacturers face. 

We know that the shift to more responsible products can’t be achieved alone, so these sessions are aimed at connecting the sector to help organisations ask and answer questions and share experiences and resources to make it easier.

Session 1: Product Certification

Certification experts will discuss the growing significance of certifications in light of regulatory changes. Learn how to choose the right certification for your product and organization, followed by a discussion on overcoming challenges.
