You can use the ecolabels on this site to build a green purchasing strategy for your business or organisation. There are three reasons why you should do this: It's easier, cheaper, and more trustworthy.
Easier: Because the people who run these labels have already done the heavy-lifting of deciding what products and services are green so you don't have to. Just ask for them by name.
Cheaper: Save money on consultancy fees by using ecolabels for your big products. Things like paper, food, and electronics have well established ecolabels. Apply your consultants in a more targeted manner by directing them to this site first, and then pay them only to find green options where no ecolabel already exists for a specific product.
Reliable: Because of concerns around greenwashing, consumers are more likely to trust an independent provider of data on whether something is green. Using ecolabels ensures responsibility for making those decisions is borne by a reliable third party.
How? It's Simple:
1. Select the types and regions where you are looking for labels (e.g. electronics and north america).
2. Select the metrics that are important to you (e.g. third party verified, full life cycle analysis).
3. Use the faceted search and data tools on this site to find the labels that cover those sectors.
4. Add those ecolabels to your purchasing and procurement calls.
