Environmental Choice Program
The Environmental Choice Program[1] is an ecolabelling scheme that was established by Environment Canada in 1988 with over 300 categories of products to help consumers identify services/products which are less harmful to the environment.
The "Environmental Choice" EcoLogo symbol of certification is three intertwined doves within a green colored maple leaf.
As of July 1013, there are currently more than 7,000 EcoLogo certified products from more than 300 different companies/brand names and 122 Ecologo standards categories under which products can be certified.
Founded in 1988, EcoLogo provides customers – public, corporate and consumer – with assurance that the products and services bearing the logo meet stringent environmental standards that have been verified by a third party auditor.
It was originally founded by the Canadian government, but is now well-known world-wide.
