Environmental Choice Program
- Environmental Choice Program
Environmental Choice Program was established by Environment Canada in 1988 with over 300 categories of products to help consumers identify services/products which are less harmful to the environment.
The "Environmental Choice" Eco-Logo symbol of certification is a green colored maple leaf intertwined within three doves.
There were more than 3000 approved products as of May 2007, with 119 licensees and 29 guidelines under which companies may be licensed and their products certified.
Founded in 1988, EcoLogo is North America’s most respected and established multi-attribute environmental standard and certification mark. In a skeptical marketplace, EcoLogo builds the trust needed by providing scientific credibility and proof of environmental leadership.
EcoLogo provides customers – public, corporate and consumer – with assurance that the products and services bearing the logo meet stringent environmental standards that have been verified by a third party auditor. By certifying environmental leaders in over 120 product categories, EcoLogo helps customers find and trust the world’s most sustainable products.
