Certifications & Awards
California Green Businesses collectively aim to reduce their carbon footprint by conserving water usage, waste production, and energy usage.
The SA8000 certification, mentioned along with SW’s other certifications, was developed by the Social Accountability International Organization and verifies that a company is not practicing oppressive workforce conditions like child labor, forced/compulsory labor, unsafe workplace environments, union busting, or workplace discrimination.
SW® products are also Skin Health Alliance® (SHA) approved, which verifies that SW® products are not only safe for the skin but also not harmful to the environment at any stage of their development, manufacture, or disposal.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) certification guarantees that products are made from materials sourced from responsibly managed forests, confirming that they provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.
SW® has also been recognized as a B corp business. Getting B Corp® certified is a holistic assessment (B Impact Assessment), which must be renewed every three years, and is centered around five thematic pillars: How the company is taking care of your workers, how the company considers all stakeholders, how the company gives back to the community, how much of a positive impact the company has in customer’s lives, and how much of a positive impact the company has on the environment.
SW® is very proud to join the EcoVadis global network of sustainable businesses. EcoVadis is the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business stainability ratings. They were founded in 2007 and have since rated over 130,000 companies. SW® percentile rank is 80th, and it falls among the Top 35% of companies rated by the Ecovadis platform that require businesses to demonstrate a relatively strong management system that addresses sustainability goals.
Being awarded an EcoVadis Bronze Medal shows how much the SW® brands are committed to continuous improvement, working every day to become better for their customers, workers, and the environment. It also adds credibility and transparency with stakeholders and shows that they are focused on tangible commitments and making measurable differences.
