Global GreenTag Welcomes New Team Members and Celebrates Key Transitions for 2026

Meet who's new and who's stepped up on the GreenTag Internaitonal team ..

Global GreenTag International begins 2026 with new energy, welcoming talented colleagues, celebrating internal promotions, and expanding its capabilities to support industries worldwide seeking trusted sustainability certification.

As demand grows globally for transparent, science-based product certification, the organisation is strengthening its team across sales, certification, marketing and digital technology. A new Information Technology and Software Development capability has been established to support Global GreenTag's growing digital infrastructure and platform development.

At the same time, Global GreenTag takes the opportunity to acknowledge and thank valued colleagues who have contributed to the organisation and are now moving forward to new professional chapters.

David Baggs, CEO, Technical Director and Cofounder of Global GreenTag International, said the appointments reflect the organisation's continued evolution.

"As global demand grows for trusted sustainability certification and transparent product information, strengthening our team across sales, certification, marketing and digital capability is essential. These appointments position Global GreenTag to continue supporting manufacturers and industries worldwide — including the built environment sector — with the independent, science-based verification they rely on."
