Target, GoodGuide launch sustainable product standard
Target has teamed up with Underwriters Laboratories’ product-rating website GoodGuide to rate the environmental impact and sustainability of thousands of products.
The retailer says it will use the Target Sustainable Product Standard to make merchandising and product-placement decisions. Beginning this month, it will ask vendors representing 7,500 products in household cleaners, personal care and beauty, and baby care to complete the UL Transparency Platform assessment.
Target will then assign each product in these categories up to 100 points based on the sustainability of ingredients, ingredient transparency and overall environmental impact.
