Global Groomer Health Initiative
IGS Engaged Partner
Be recognized for actions that protect groomers’ health.
The IGS Engaged Partner status highlights brands, schools, manufacturers and service providers who take concrete steps to improve groomers’ health, safety and long-term career sustainability.
Important: IGS does not certify or approve products. We observe, document, and highlight actions that go in the right direction.
Visibility based on real contribution
IGS highlights partners through educational content, awareness campaigns and dedicated pages always linked to specific actions.
Credibility without greenwashing
Partners can refer to IGS recognition transparently, using approved wording that avoids confusion with certification.
Credibility without greenwashing
IGS Engaged Partner is the first level of a system designed to evolve as the initiative grows.
Why this partnership exists
Groomer health is now a documented global issue. The IGS Engaged Partner status exists to make solutions more visible, accelerate safer practices, and encourage meaningful innovation without turning IGS into a commercial label.
