Millboard is ethy-verified
We’re proud to be ethy-verified – an independent accreditation that recognises brands making measurable, transparent progress towards a more sustainable future.
See the standards behind the symbol
ethy’s public standards are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and reviewed with industry experts, giving you confidence that our claims are verified and consumer-friendly. By choosing an ethy-verified brand, you’re choosing one that has opened itself up to scrutiny, welcomed independent assessment, and committed to sharing its journey openly rather than quietly working behind the scenes
For anyone looking to make responsible choices – whether you’re creating a family garden, specifying for a commercial development, or curating an outdoor space built to last – ethy offers a transparent and trustworthy way to understand a brand’s environmental and social progress. Their clear standards, openly published for all to see, give reassurance that sustainability claims aren’t based on good intentions alone, but on evidence, measurable actions, and publicly accountable steps forward. It’s a way of cutting through the noise, so you can see at a glance who is genuinely moving in the right direction, and how.
ethy’s framework is built around the UN Sustainable Development Goals and reviewed by industry specialists, ensuring that verification is grounded in global best practice rather than shifting trends. For our customers, this means you’re not relying on vague promises or marketing gloss – you’re getting proof. The same criteria apply whether you’re discovering Millboard for the first time or returning to us for a new project, giving a consistent foundation for trust over time.
Why ethy verification matters for our customers
Choosing materials for an outdoor project involves trust. You want to know that the products you’re investing in will stand the test of time, perform reliably, and support more responsible choices for the planet. ethy verification makes that trust easier. It brings together complex information into a simple, recognisable mark, so you don’t have to be a sustainability specialist to feel confident in your decision.
Independent proof, not promises
Every sustainability claim submitted for ethy verification is checked against public, measurable criteria. We are required to supply evidence for each point – nothing is assumed, and nothing is accepted without appropriate documentation. This means the assurances you read about www.millboard.come with an added layer of integrity. Behind each statement sits data, documents and third-party checks that confirm we are doing what we say we are doing. For homeowners, designers and specifiers alike, that independent lens removes much of the uncertainty that can surround environmental messaging.
Honest, actionable progress
Sustainability is never ‘finished’. ethy supports continuous improvement by mapping each commitment to a practical roadmap. This structure helps us keep moving forward steadily and transparently, ensuring progress is both meaningful and accountable. It highlights where we are performing strongly today and where further work is planned, so you can see not only where we stand now, but where we are heading. That honesty about the journey, the wins and the work in progress, is central to how we want to communicate as a business.
Clear, comparable labelling
ethy’s ecolabels are deliberately simple. They help you scan and understand where a brand is performing strongly and where ongoing work is taking place. This clarity makes comparisons easier, helping homeowners and specifiers make confident, informed choices in a landscape where sustainability language can sometimes feel crowded or confusing.
Built for UK compliance
ethy verification supports alignment with the UK Green Claims Code, helping us keep our claims accurate, transparent and compliant, and helping you trust what you read.
What this means for Millboard’s products in real-world environments
Millboard decking and cladding are made to last. They are built for the unpredictable reality of outdoor living: sunlight, rain, frost and the wear of daily use. Their exceptional fade and slip resistance helps to preserve their natural beauty year after year, while offering confidence underfoot, even in wetter conditions.
When a product lasts longer, performs better, and reduces the need for replacement, it naturally lowers waste and minimises the environmental impact of repeat manufacturing and transportation. Pairing that durability with verified sustainability commitments creates value that extends well beyond aesthetics.
