What is the EU Ecolabel?
Shopping today can be a challenge. There are so many products it's almost impossible to distinguish between them. To stand out, many brands now promote themselves as green or stress their environmental credentials. But can we always trust these claims?
The EU Ecolabel promotes goods and services with a guaranteed reduced environmental impact throughout their entire life cycle. It helps consumers, retailers, business and procurers to make truly sustainable choices. A label you can trust.
Why choose the EU Ecolabel?

- It empowers consumers and procurers in making sustainable choices
- It boosts responsible, competitive and innovative businesses
- It guarantees compliance with new and forthcoming legislation on ecodesign, sustainability labelling and green claims
