Hong Kong Green Label Scheme (HKGLS)
HKGLS is an independent, not-for-profit and voluntary scheme for the certification of environmentally preferable products launched in 2000 by the GC. The scheme sets environmental standards and awards "Green Label" to products that are qualified regarding their environment performance. As with all eco-labelling programs, the aim is to encourage manufacturers to supply products with good environmental performance and provide a convenient means for consumers to recognize products that are more environmentally responsible, thus promoting a more sustainable pattern of consumption. HKGLS is also an ISO 14024 Type 1 label, which involves a third-party certification requiring considerations of life cycle impacts. Some of the key criteria contained in these standards also require compliance with applicable legislation.
