Cara Vought

Certification Officer

"A manufacturer's or facility's strategy to reduce its environmental impact is not a one-size-fits-all journey. The ability to measure and certify these efforts, at any stage of the process, highlights both the hard work and the progress businesses make over time. It's exciting to be part of telling that story through sustainability certification."

Cara is the Certification Officer at GreenCircle Certified, bringing over 13 years of experience in product stewardship and corporate sustainability strategy. Her expertise includes developing life cycle assessments (LCAs) and product carbon footprints, conducting independent LCA reviews to ISO standards, supporting industry associations and collaboratives in program development, and facilitating audits for sustainable manufacturing practices and LEED certifications. Cara holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Delaware, with minors in Sustainable Energy Technology and Environmental Engineering.
