This label is meant to emphasise the connections between the environment and the economy, and to stimulate the voluntary commitment of companies to engage in a gradual process of improving their environmental performance for more sustainable development.
To correspond to this gradual approach concerning eco-management, the label is awarded at three progressive levels, from one to three stars.
