Knowing EU Ecolabel 

Benefits of Products and Services Awarded with EU Ecolabel  

Consumers are increasingly adopting conscious practices to support the development of environmentally and socially responsible products and services, taking on an important role in the ecological transition. 

In March 2023, more than 230 different environmental labels had been identified on the EU market, making it a challenge for consumers to be able to identify which labels they can trust. The EU Ecolabel is a system managed by the European Commission in coordination with the competent bodies of the Member States and is a reference for consumers to make smarter and more sustainable choices.
