We at Ecolabelling Sweden have made a promise to our customers:
We promise our customers the right to use one of the market´s strongest trademarks, access to a broad and competent environmental competence as well as becoming a member in the Nordic countries largest environmental networks.
Our business idea is to offer companies an easy and credible way to use the ”environment” as a competitive edge. We are convinced that the power of our trademark can enhance a company’s own marketing, and in a credible manner show that a company also is working for a sustainable society. And even give an increased market value for its own trademark.
Who can carry the Nordic Ecolabel logo?
A product must fulfil the criteria requirements for its products group in order to use the Nordic Ecolabel logo. Each product group has its own criteria list. Before a product receives a licence we at the Nordic Ecolabel control that criterias are fulfilled. We do this by visits, documentation and test results from independent laboratories. If the licence is approaved , the company may market this product with the Nordic Ecolabel logo.
When?
When a company receives a Nordic Ecolabel licence it may use our logo on all products that have received this licence.
Where?
Our Nordic Ecolabel logo may be used in all marketing of the licenced product. It can be shown on TV ads, DM, print ads, homepages, brochures, posters, PPT presentations, etc.
Why?
There is a constant market noise. New products are launched, many companies design their own environmental logos. In this “jungle” of competitive messaging many consumers find it difficult to analyse a company’s product from environmental and sustainability perspectives.
Therefore it is good to know what the Nordic Ecolabel stands for:
- The Nordic Ecolabel is the official Nordic Ecolabel
- The Nordic Ecolabel has stringent environmental criteria
- The Nordic Ecolabel has stringent quality and functional criteria
- The Nordic Ecolabel revises its criteria on a regular basis
- Nordic Ecolabelled products have fulfilled stringent criteria and are approved and third-party controlled.
- Nordic Ecolabelled products contribute to a sustainable consumption and a sustainable society.
The Nordic Ecolabel has climate criteria for most of its 65 product groups.

Rules for usage
The Nordic Ecolabel is green and white. The green color is PMS 347 U. (Color code: CMYK 100 % cyan, 80 % yellow) When printing on glossy paper the color code is 347 C. The Nordic Ecolabel may even be used in a black and white version (at most 50 % halftone).
