Croatia commits to implementing and promoting a national “Environment Friendly” label and EU Ecolabel for sustainable goods and services. The commitment will inform producers about benefits of ecolabels and sensitise the public to buying sustainable goods and services. The commitment is expected to increase the recognition among consumers of goods and services with ecolabels.
The commitment falls under focus area 4 of the Batumi Initiative to shift consumer behaviours towards sustainable consumption patterns.
Implementing partners include Ministry of Environmental and Nature Protection and the Chamber of Commerce.
The commitment is relevant to SDG targets 12.2 and 12.6.
