摘要：Environmental or “ green ” labelling empowers us, as consumers or organizations, to make an impact through the products we buy or the suppliers we choose. It also allows companies to be recognized for their green efforts. As the number of environmental claims continues to grow exponentially, there is a need for globally harmonized labelling standards that take into account all relevant aspects of a product or service’s life cycle and that provide sufficient and reliable information to consumers. Consumer and environmental groups, and government agencies have also been concerned about “ greenwash ” i.e. unsubstantiated environmental claims on products. ISO has been very active in writing standards for environmental labelling covering three types of claims. Their implementation helps avoid greenwash.
