| The Emblem of guarantee of environmental quality is an ecological labelling system which was created through Decree 316/1994 introduced by the Autonomous Government of Catalonia on 4th November of that year.
Initially, it was used to guarantee the environmental quality of certain properties or characteristics of products.
Through Decree 296/1998 of 17th November, the use of the Emblem of guarantee of environmental quality was extended to include services thus making this official system of environmental certification more complete.
On one hand, the Emblem provides consumers and users with greater and more reliable information and, on the other, promotes the design, production, marketing, use and consumption of products and services wich surpass by far the minimum standards established under current legislation.
