WE’RE SMSC

Trusted standards and verified data for industry shift.

Setting the Standard for Market Transformation

SMS Collaborative has helped to develop and bring to life some of the most well known and transformative sustainability certifications and eco-labels in the building sciences and life sciences industries. Here are just a few.

Act for Impact

The ACT (Accountability, Consistency and Transparency) Environmental Impact Factor Label was developed and designed to address the need of both scientists and procurement specialists for clear, third-party verified information about the environmental impact of laboratory products.

ACT-labeled products are independently audited by SMS Collaborative, LLC (SMSC) and published by My Green Lab.

How to ACT

The ACT label process includes an extensive desktop audit, performed as a collaboration between My Green Lab, the SMSC, and the manufacturer. At the end of the audit, the manufacturer is provided with a report including suggestions on how to reduce the environmental impact of their products and packaging. Many of our partners now use the ACT criteria to inform their product development process, to ensure continuous improvement in the sustainability attributes of their product.
