Green Seal is absolutely committed to serving these stakeholders with the highest quality support. To that end, Green Seal is taking the following steps<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To reduce unnecessary added workloads on overburdened teams, Green Seal is suspending compliance monitoring activity until the crisis has abated.<\/li><li>Due to extreme impacts to the fiber supply chain, Green Seal will temporarily make reasonable accommodations to fiber sourcing compliance for certified paper producers, while also requiring periodic reporting on fiber content. This measure will aid in the continued market flow of hygienic and other paper products that consistently meet the highest sustainability standard in the market.<\/li><li>Green Seal will conduct virtual audits instead of in-person audits where necessary. This will allow any companies that have submitted for new certification evaluations to achieve conditional Green Seal certifications in a timely manner.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To protect the health of our staff and the general public, Green Seal transitioned to operating as a virtual workplace for all staff beginning March 12<sup>th<\/sup>.&nbsp;&nbsp;While this measure allows us to do our part in our communities, we have taken steps to ensure that this will not affect our ongoing operations and customer support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will continue to update this blog and our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenseal.org\/coronavirus\">COVID-19 Resources<\/a> page as new information and resources become available \u2013 and we are always available for questions <a href=\"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/staging\/contact\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for allowing Green Seal to serve you during this challenging time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Seal is closely monitoring developments regarding the novel coronavirus COVID-19, which was declared a national emergency by the White House and a pandemic by the World Health Organization.
