Responsible sourcing

A claim is only as strong as its product evidence.

Green Charcoals does not make blanket sustainability, certification, recycled-content, additive, origin or carbon-benefit claims. Evidence is reviewed for the exact SKU, source, supplier and destination.

Include sourcing requirements
Claim pathway

Ask, trace, verify and approve.

Responsible sourcing is a chain of product-specific evidence—not a colour, slogan or single badge.

Raw material

Identify feedstock, geography, source context and the records available for the selected supply.

Traceability

Connect supplier, production site, SKU, batch and shipment through controlled documents.

Processing

Record binders, additives, activation, manufacturing steps and relevant controls.

Claim approval

Match each public or packaging statement to evidence, scope, owner and expiry.

Evidence matrix

Define what would support the statement.

The required evidence depends on the wording, destination, product and applicable standard.

Proposed claim areaEvidence to requestApproval question

Marketing discipline

A slogan is not a product dossier.

Historical concepts may inspire design, but words such as pure, natural, sustainable, recycled, chemical-free, hotter or longer-burning are not approved facts without current evidence.

  • Write the exact proposed statement
  • Name the product, supplier, site and market it covers
  • Link the evidence and responsible approver
  • Record limitations, valid period and review date
  • Remove or revise the statement when evidence changes

What this page does not claim

No universal certification, renewable-source status, deforestation status, recycled-content result, carbon benefit, additive status, production method or social-compliance outcome is asserted here.

Any approved statement must be tied to evidence for the selected product and transaction.
