The Nordic Ecolabel in Procurements

The Nordic Ecolabelling organisation has specialists who assess and determine the environmental criteria for the various product groups. These criteria are set at a high level and a stringent application process with independent tests, evaluations and documentation leads to having only top-quality products being allowed to be licenced with a Nordic Ecolabel.

Because of the thoroughness of the Nordic Ecolabelling scheme, a growing number of professionals who make procurements are using the Nordic Ecolabelling criteria as environmental requirements, and the Nordic Ecolabel licence as documentation that the requirements are met.

A well-known label

There are several good reasons to label your products and
services with the Nordic Ecolabel. 93 % in the Nordic market recognize the Nordic Ecolabel logo, and 82 % know that it is an Ecolabel (Nordic market research study, december, 2010).  And they trust that the label is a guarantee for high environmental performance. Consequently, the  Nordic Ecolabel is a cost-efficient way of communicating that a product is environmentally-sound and lessens the credibility of other companies who use greenwashing of products and services.
