China Environmental Labelling becomes compulsory requirement to Support Green Publication Transformation 

The Measures of Assessment and Rated Management of High-Quality Development of Publication and Printing Enterprises of Beijing was released lately, focusing on grading and evaluation of the printing enterprises in Beijing. The rating is Tier I, II, III and IV from high to low. 

“Certification of China Environmental Labelling” is the compulsory requirement for Tier I and II under the assessment criterion. The criterion states that various government preferential policies, supporting programs and incentive funds will support priority to Tier I and II enterprises. The measures are developed by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Press and Publication, which focuses on enterprises’ services capacity, green and environmental protection level, business management status, performances of innovation and development etc. The release and implementation of the measures will improve the standard system, establish an industry best practice and guide the development of relevant enterprises.
