Ecolabeling covers voluntary schemes that certify products meeting higher environmental performance criteria than typically set by legislation. It addresses lifecycle impacts such as resource use, energy efficiency, emissions, and waste, helping companies demonstrate environmental credibility and support informed, sustainable purchasing decisions.
It guides companies to meet voluntary environmental criteria, manage certification and labeling risks, and support market access, green procurement eligibility, and credible sustainability claims.
Common requirement types include:
- Declaring/Certifying Conformity
- Marking/Labelling,
- Payments of Fees
- Registration
- Reporting
- Testing
- Energy Limits
- Chemical Limits
We cover a broad range of voluntary ecolabeling regulations, standards, and program criteria that define environmental performance, certification conditions, and rules for the use of ecolabel logos across global markets. Our coverage includes regional, national, and program-specific requirements governing product eligibility, conformity assessment, labeling, and ongoing compliance for recognized ecolabel schemes.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Ecolabels are voluntary schemes. However, when a company opts to use an ecolabel, it must fully meet the applicable criteria, verification procedures, and label-use rules to ensure compliance and avoid misleading claims or regulatory scrutiny.
-
Ecolabel programs typically set environmental performance criteria, require conformity assessment or third-party verification, and impose obligations on documentation, labeling use, and ongoing compliance, with criteria regularly updated to reflect scientific and technical progress.
-
Not necessarily. Most ecolabels look at the “Big Picture.” While carbon footprint is important, a true ecolabel also checks for toxic chemicals, water waste, and how easily the product can be recycled. It’s about being better for the planet in every way, not just one.
-
Yes! Governments are getting strict. If a company makes a “green” claim without proof, they can face massive fines. Using a recognized, verified ecolabel is the best way for a brand to prove they are telling the truth and stay on the right side of the law.
