Ahead of the future
NL Greenlabel provides an ecolabel for the living environment. Initiated by two well known green pioneers, the Dutch organization has developed into a platform which today is supported by more than 160 partners. All the partners contribute to a network containing a range of disciplines, from architects, NGO’s and scientists to green professionals, start-ups and so on. The mission is to bring man and nature together into a state of balance. Concerned with global challenges like biodiversity, climate adaptation, loss of landscape and human wellbeing, our methodology draws on measurements like nature-based solutions and green innovations to create healthy and thriving environments. With all the challenges ahead, like environmental issues, ever-growing cities and the loss of biodiversity, it is clearer than ever that a different way is needed for the way we ghnyhyhy live and the way we organize and manage our own habitat.
It took ten years of research, development and experimenting to become a front leader in the assessment of a sustainable living environment. Unique tools and services help to assess sustainability with so-called passports for plants, products and materials. Moreover, we assess the living environment. Distinguishing different scales and sizes, it can be used to asses area's like suburbs and industrial parks, middle sized projects like sport parks and school yards, and thirdly, private gardens. The unique selling point is the way this system works. It is simple and practical for all the stakeholders involved and it allows to assess sustainability to formulate and guarantee ambitions. A board of renowned scientists validates the concept on a regular base and provides valuable input.
"Adding NL Greenlabel as a partner will contribute with vital knowledge, experience and network to add qualitative sustainability services on top of the quantitative HUGSI data."
