Nordic Swan Ecolabel
The Nordic Swan is a voluntary ecolabel applicable in various European Nordic countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland). The label evaluates a product's impact on the environmental considering the entire life cycle, in order to guarantee, among others, that climate requirements are taken into account, and that carbon emissions are limited. The Nordic Swan Ecolabel follows the ISO 14024 standard and is a Type 1 ecolabel. The approach applies the RPS model (Relevance, Potential, Steerability). Relevance is evaluated based on the environmental impacts associated with the product; Potential considers the potential environmental gains or improvements; and Steerability considers if the ecolabel is the right label or tool to tackle the environmental impacts. The label covers 63 product groups and more than 23,000 products.
