SUSTAINABILITY LABELS

One way to live more sustainably is to pay attention to how a product, food or clothing is made. Sustainability labels tell you whether the manufacturer has taken the environment into account, for example.

Sustainability labels, also known as green labels, are certifications that prove a company has methods and processes in place to develop sustainable products and infrastructure. There are several sustainability labels, each designed for a specific purpose.

Some of the main sustainability labels are listed above, and the external links to each siegel you find here:
