More than 50 countries around the world celebrate World Ecolabel Day on the second Thursday in October each year. This year, that's 13 October 2022. It’s a day to focus on ecolabel products and services that are proven to be environmentally preferable and performance tested, so you are ensured the best products for your health and the health of the planet.
Consumers, companies, and communities worldwide will celebrate this event by discovering the ecolabels available in their own countries, buying and using third-party certified products and services, and sharing the good news with family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers.
This year the Global Ecolabelling Network will celebrate our heroes:
our GEN Members, the world's most credible and robust ecolabels
our GEN Members' licensees that show sustainability leadership and commitment to better products and services for the people and the planet
procurers who include ecolabels in their policies
all consumers who look closer at each product and take the next step choosing products and services certified by lifecycle ecolabels
We encourage everyone to tell their stories about how individual and companies are making a positive impact on the environment by developing, prioritising or choosing ecolabels products. Prepare your story and follow us on social media to see all interesting stories from around the world.
We will also continue to promote our international “Look Closer” ecolabelling campaign. This campaign was launched last year and is designed to educate procurement officials about avoiding greenwashing and to help them insist on products and services with lifecycle ecolabels.
This fun video explains simply why lifecycle ecolabels are so important and how you can celebrate them. Share with friends and post the link on your social media.
