Ecolabel
From Open Risk Manual
Definition
An Ecolabel is a certification and labeling system for variety of consumer products.
An ecolabel is a form of sustainability measurement directed at consumers. Its function is to create transparency about environmental impact and allow consumer preference to express environmental concerns.
Labels may quantify pollution or energy consumption using scores or units of measurement. Other programs assert compliance with a set of practices or minimum requirements for sustainability or reduction of harm to the environment.
Labels are rendered more credible through verification processes.
