About Green Label (Eco-Label)

The Thai Green Label Scheme was initiated by the Thailand Business Council for Sustainable Development (TBCSD), chaired by Mr. Anand Panyarachun in October 1993 as a TBCSD council project.  It was formally launched in August 1994 by he Thailand Environment Institute (TEI) in association with the Ministry of Industry.

The Green Label is an environmental certification awarded to specific products that are shown to have minimum detrimental impact on the environment in comparison with other products serving the same function.

The Thai Green Label Scheme applies to products and services, not including foods, drinks, and pharmaceuticals.  Products or services which meet the Thai Green Label criteria can carry the Thai Green Label.  Participation in the scheme is voluntary.

The symbol signifies environmental conservation.  The flora (the leaves) and fauna (the bird) depicted are the living wonders of the world.  In the myriad of links with our earth, our hopes for future generations (the smiling face) grows from life respecting nature.
