Who are the approved certifiers of EDGE?
The consortium of Sintali-SGS and GBCI (Green Business Certification Inc.) are the approved certifiers who operate in most countries where projects can be designed and certified with EDGE. Sometimes Sintali-SGS or GBCI operate as an exclusive certifier for a country, and sometimes their services complement those of a local certifier. In Indonesia, the Green Building Council of Indonesia is the sole provider of certification services, and in Colombia, CAMACOL has this role.
