Linda H. Chipperfield
Vice President of Marketing & Outreach
Green Seal works with manufacturers, industry sectors, purchasing groups and governments at all levels to "green" the production and purchasing chain. We utilize a life-cycle approach, which means we evaluate a product or service beginning with material extraction, continuing with manufacturing and use, and ending with recycling and disposal. Products and services only become Green Seal certified after rigorous testing and evaluation, including on-site visits to manufacturing and cleaning services’ facilities
As V.P. of Marketing and Outreach at Green Seal, Linda works to promote science-based standards and the power of the marketplace to create a more sustainable world.
Linda has 25 years of experience in creative brand marketing. Prior to joining Green Seal in 2006, she was Creative Director and Team Leader at Noble & Associates, a national communications agency. As an environmental activist, Linda co-founded Southwest Missouri Citizens for Clean Energy, and served on the Executive Committee for the Missouri Sierra Club and the Regional Conservation Committee for the National Sierra Club. Linda currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Global Ecolabeling Network.
