CURRENT ACTION:
We see green labelling as an excellent way to provide information on sustainable products and services. We have already released several documents to help our members understand and engage with green labelling schemes. These include a study of European sustainability schemes, a practical step-by-step handbook for sustainable tourism widely covering sustainability schemes, and a report on sustainable tourism certification selection, including case studies and best practices. 

FUTURE ACTIONS:
We are committed to continuing this work. In the future, we plan to release a handbook on green labelling processes and organise a workshop for members on the topic. We will also continue to share best practices through the ETC members’ network. 

ETC is also dedicated to keeping members informed on the developments of new EU legislation regarding green labelling, such as the Green Claims Directive.

OUTPUT:
Producing a handbook and organising a workshop on green labelling.
Share best practices through an online platform that will be inaugurated in 2024.

TIME:
Green labelling publications and workshops will be produced in the coming years. 

ETC has begun work on the online platform, with a view to launching it for members late in 2024. In 2025, ETC will consider creating a public version of the platform.
