GEN members and partner organisations around the globe join together every October to celebrate ecolabelling standards and sustainable practices that protect our environment. Here's a look at some of the ways World Ecolabel Day is celebrated across the globe.
As part of their efforts to highlight the critical role of ecolabels on World Ecolabel Day, many GEN members created videos explaining the value and business benefits of Type 1 Ecolabels. These videos can be viewed here.
TCO Development jointly organized a webinar together with EU Ecolabel and GEN (with GEN chair Björn-Erik speaking through a pre-recorded video). Registration was shared across TCO and GEN social media.
Singapore Environment Council
The Singapore Environment Council took their World Ecolabel Day celebration on the road. The SEC's WED Roadshow engaged the public and raised awareness of ecolabels on products that support the environment.
The Hong Kong Green Council spread ecolabel and World Ecolabel Day info across web, social media, and traditional channels.
Thailand Environment Institute
This banner from GEN member Thailand Environment Institute is just one example of how TEI publicized World Ecolabel Day.
