ISO 14024
In today’s environmentally conscious global market, customers prefer products that contribute to sustainable development.

What is ISO 14024?
ISO 14024:2018 is an international standard that sets out principles and procedures for developing Type I environmental labelling programs. These labels are awarded based on multiple environmental criteria, evaluated through independent third-party certification.
The product certified under ISO 14024 is verified for its environmental superiority throughout its life cycle compared to similar products in the market. The label is typically recognized by governments, procurement agencies, and eco-conscious consumers worldwide.
Why is ISO 14024 important?
With rising pressure from regulators, customers, and stakeholders to adopt sustainable practices, ISO 14024 certification helps companies build environmental trust and achieve market differentiation. It goes beyond self-declared claims (as in ISO 14021) by ensuring products meet predefined criteria based on life cycle analysis, thus gaining consumer confidence and satisfying green procurement policies.
Whether you're in manufacturing, FMCG, packaging, or consumer goods, ISO 14024 gives you the edge in environmentally certified product marketing.
