Why GreenPan is a Brand We Trust

Our score rates the product alone. We add this seal when we also trust the company behind it. We trust GreenPan because it is the first cookware brand certified to the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative Performance Standard, uses an NSF-certified ceramic coating, and has committed to plastic-free packaging. The seal sits beside the score and never changes a ranking. Source: greenpan.us/pages/sustainability.
