As demand for eco-friendly products grows, many lack certification, and existing programs often focus narrowly on environmental aspects with high costs. In contrast, SustainBuild Mark offers a holistic evaluation encompassing all ESG aspects, providing an accessible and comprehensive solution for assessing product sustainability. Organisations, whether manufacturers or importers, must meet a set of ESG criteria as a prerequisite for qualification. Once these criteria are fulfilled, applicants can state their products’ environmental claims, declared in accordance with MS ISO 14021:2017 Environmental labels and declarations – Self-declared environmental claims (Type II environmental labelling), providing information about the positive environmental.
Through SustainBuild Mark, CREAM promotes ESG good practices among manufacturers and importers of construction products, establishing a common standard across all product categories. As ESG criteria gain importance, CREAM’s SustainBuild Mark certification stands out by offering a balanced approach, benefiting both producers and consumers seeking eco-friendly options.
The SustainBuild Mark certification is intended for construction products marketed and supplied in Malaysia. It covers products that directly influence the environmental footprint of a building, either in its construction or operational phase, including:
This is a voluntary product certification program. Certification is location and product-specific, with one certificate issued for each type of product produced at a specific location. Certified products will have the right to be marketed with the CREAM certified product logo.
