Sustainability reporting (recycled%, EPEAT, FSC, Energy Star), how does it show on PDP + invoice?

Increasingly a hard bid requirement. Fortune 500 procurement teams need this data for Scope 3 reporting under GHG Protocol and CDP disclosures; many state-government RFPs disqualify bids that don’t provide it.

The Magento implementation:

• Product attributes per certification, recycled_content_percent (integer), epeat_tier (gold/silver/bronze/none), fsc_certified (boolean), energy_star (boolean), green_seal (boolean), bpi_compostable (boolean), usda_biopreferred (boolean), chlorine_free (boolean). Each loadable via CSV import from your supplier-provided sustainability data sheets.
• PDP display, certification marks render as a strip below the product title with hover-tooltips explaining each. Filterable in category navigation so a buyer can filter to “FSC certified paper only.”
• Invoice + packing slip print, certification flags print on the line-item row of the invoice and packing slip so the buyer’s receiving + accounts-payable teams capture it for their ESG records.
• Quarterly sustainability export, a report generates per-customer (or per-contract) showing total spend on EPEAT Gold electronics, % recycled paper, total CO2-offset units, etc. Buyers consume this directly into their annual sustainability report.

Maintenance: EPEAT registration expires, the EPEAT registry is updated continuously and SKUs get de-listed. Quarterly re-verification against the EPEAT registry API is mandatory; products that lose certification need the attribute cleared (otherwise you’re falsely claiming a certification you no longer hold, FTC Green Guides violation). Same for FSC and Energy Star.
