Eco labels are marks that identify products or services meeting specific environmental or social standards.
[certification]
Eco labels help consumers make informed choices by highlighting products and services that meet defined environmental criteria. However, not every green-looking symbol represents a credible certification.
Under the EU's Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive (EU) 2024/825, voluntary sustainability labels must be based on qualifying third-party certification schemes or established by public authorities.
Example: The EU Ecolabel is an official European label awarded to products and services that meet defined environmental criteria throughout their life cycle.
