Nordic Ecolabel or Swan
Certificate Description
The Nordic Ecolabel or Swan works to reduce the environmental impact from production and consumption of goods – and to make it easy for consumers and professional buyers to choose the environmentally best goods and services. The label checks that products fulfill certain criteria using methods such as samples from independent laboratories, certificates and control visits.
Each Nordic country has local offices with the responsibility for criteria development, control visits, licensing and marketing. In Denmark, Nordic Ecolabel is administered by Ecolabelling Denmark at Danish Standards Foundation, in Sweden by Ecolabelling Sweden AB, in Finland by Finnish Standards, in Norway by The Foundation for Ecolabelling, and in Iceland by The Environment Agency that operates under the direction of the Ministry for the Environment.
