Green consumerism and Ecolabelling

Bra Miljöval is our ecolabel. It is referred to as "Good Environmental Choice" in English.

As consumers’ and voters’ representative, the Green Consumerism project of the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation covers several approaches to deal with environmental aspects of consumption.

The active members that devotes their interest to local activities of the nation-wide campaigns such as the Annual Greening Campaign etc. are of vital importance to the work with green consumerism and ecolabelling. Together they form the green consumerism network.

Bra Miljöval is the ecolabel of SSNC. It is referred to as "Good Environmental Choice" in English. SSNC started ecolabelling in 1988 on laundry detergent and paper. See more about the work to get the market forces to take the environment into account. Currently the system covers 8 product areas.

SSNC’s ecolabelling of electricity delivery contracts started at the very beginning of 1996. Both supply and demand of the labelled services are expanding rapidly, also geographically. The same criteria are working in Norway and Denmark in cooperation with SSNC. In 2007 we launched criterias for district heat and got our first licensee in March 2008. The labelling of electricity and district heat is a part of the overall energy project of SSNC.
