Environmental Choice Program

The mark seen on "Environmental Choice" approved products.

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 2013, 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.
