The Green Leaf™ Eco Standard (GLES) is specifically constructed as a
sustainability and
certification assessment tool for the performance management of
any international organisation
or property.
In its name, “Green Leaf™” stems from the symbol representing the philosophy of people and
place in environmental leadership and conservation of the
Wilderness Foundation (the
organisation, together with Andrew Phillips, which founded the
Green Leaf Environmental Trust,
the custodians of GLES). “Eco Standard” is an integrated concept which promotes the
synergy of
environmental, social and economic systems to facilitate behavioural and material adaptations in a business
beyond the triple bottom-line.
Certification under GLES demonstrates a
firm, authentic and effective
commitment to sustainability, both towards the environment and
socially, under the
globally-recognised symbol of the Wilderness
Foundation, the Green Leaf™. The GLES is implemented internationally
by accredited agencies which
ensure impartiality and quality during the certification process.
