UL ECOLOGO ®
The UL ECOLOGO ® certification helps companies and manufacturers credibly communicate the reduced environmental impact of their products and services. The certifications indicate a product has undergone rigorous scientific testing, exhaustive auditing or both, to prove its compliance with stringent, third-party, environmental performance standards.
All products certified to an ECOLOGO ® standard must meet or exceed each of the listed criteria before receiving the mark. So ECOLOGO ® Certification is classified as an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Type 1 ecolabel and has been successfully assessed by the Global Ecolabelling Network, further demonstrating its credibility.
For suppliers such as The Graphical Tree in London, the ECOLOGO ® program offers credible third-party certification of products and services to build and strengthen trust between buyers and suppliers, customers and manufacturers. UL ECOLOGO ® is recognized or referenced in hundreds of specifications and standards and the ECOLOGO ® standards offer environmental leadership and scientifically developed environmental sustainability criteria, reviewed and robustly vetted by multiple stakeholders.
