The ECOnGOOD Label is the new sustainability seal that considers social, ethical and environmental factors.

This groundbreaking initiative goes far beyond current alternatives to prove that it IS possible to assess the real impact of management, operations and supply chains, to encourage and support fair and responsible business practices and empower funders and customers to make informed decisions aligned with their needs and values.

Applying values to economics

It is possible

For decades, we have believed that it is impossible to judge the ethical and social aspects of a company, but through tried-and-tested tools such as the Common Good Balance Sheet – with the Matrix at its core – it becomes not only possible but imperative.

It is important

There is an urgent need to support responsible business models and to penalize unethical and environmentally damaging practices. The current standards fall short when delivering realistic solutions and putting the needs of people and planet first.

It is efficient

The conclusions presented in the ECOnGOOD report, deliver clear information that judges the real impact a business has on its environment and stakeholders. The availability of this data ensures real-time transparency.

The ECOnGOOD Label is a tool designed to identify, reward and promote fair and sustainable business models through the consideration of social responsibility, ethical and environmental factors. It helps differentiate organisations by recognizing their commitment and increasing exposure, motivation, awareness, and transparency.

The ECOnGOOD Label consists of a combination of text, image and QR code that allows customers to easily identify ECOnGOOD products and services and make an informed purchasing decision.

The label will be available to all ECOnGOOD organizations that meet the criteria, regardless of their location.

The Label is awarded to ECOnGOOD companies at the completion of the audit, along with the certificate. A QR code on the label provides full transparency and displays their Balance Sheet information.
