Nordic Certification schemes & eco-labels Last reviewed 2026-06

Nordic Swan Ecolabel

The Nordic Swan is the official environmental label of the Nordic countries — a recognised, verified mark across the region.

What it is

The Nordic Swan Ecolabel (Svanemærket) is the official environmental label of the Nordic countries. Like the EU Ecolabel, it certifies products meeting life-cycle environmental criteria, verified by the national ecolabelling bodies, and is highly recognised by Nordic consumers.

Why it matters for compliance

In the Nordic markets, the Swan is a powerful, verifiable environmental claim — well understood by consumers and often expected by retailers. It is a cross-country (Nordic) scheme rather than a single country’s, and it supports a substantiated sustainability story that avoids greenwashing risk.

How to use it

  • Check whether your product group has Nordic Swan criteria.
  • Apply through the relevant national ecolabelling body.
  • Use it as evidence behind environmental claims in the Nordic markets.

Good to know

The Swan is among the most trusted ecolabels in its region — strong recognition makes it a commercial differentiator, not just a compliance asset.
