About [Edit]
The Swan`s mission
The Swan`s mission is to contribute to reducing the consumer burden on the environment. Using optional ecolabelling, we want to guide consumers and purchasers in their desire to shop with a "green" conscience, and thus contribute to a better society.
Through ecolabelling, Swan wants to encourage manufacturers to develop environmentally-friendly products and services.
The Swan is the official Nordic ecolabel, introduced by the Nordic Council of Ministers. The Nordic countries work together using the Swan ecolabel. This work is co-ordinated by the Nordic Ecolabelling Board, NMN, which has produced a set of regulations.
The Swan logo demonstrates that a product is a good environmental choice. The green symbol is available for around 60 product groups for which it is felt that ecolabelling is needed and will be beneficial. These days, everything from washing-up liquid to furniture and hotels can carry the Swan label.
The Swan checks that products fulfil certain criteria using methods such as samples from independent laboratories, certificates and control visits.
The label is usually valid for three years, after which the criteria are revised and the company must reapply for a licence. In this way, we ensure that products better suited to the environment are constantly being developed.
This is a non-profit intergovernmental organization
