Emblem of Guarantee of Environmental Quality

Introduction

The Emblem of Guarantee of Environmental Quality is an eco-labelling scheme created under the Catalan Government's Decree 316/1994 of 4 November.

Initially, the scope of the Emblem was confined to guaranteeing the environmental quality of certain properties or features of products.

Decree 296/1998, of 17 November, extended the scope of the Emblem of Guarantee of Environmental Quality to services, thus completing the scheme.

On the one hand, the Emblem provides consumers and users with better, more reliable information and, on the other, it promotes the design, production, marketing, use and consumption of products and services that fulfil certain environmental quality requirements beyond those established as compulsory under current regulations.
