What is the EKO Certificate

The EKO Certificate can be issued to products and institutions from any industry – from food, through pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, to heavy industry and services. The EKO Certificate is awarded to enterprises and organizations whose activities do not negatively impact the natural environment. This applies both to the production of individual goods and to how they are disposed of.

It is also important to consider whether the raw materials used to make products marked with the EKO certificate are harmful to humans and the environment.
