Environmental Label System is being accepted and adopted by more and more countries, and has had great influence on the international trade and marketing.

The Council, which was founded in 1996, certifies fisheries that meet high environmental standards, enabling them to use a label that recognises their environmental responsibility.

The LEED label, developed by the council in 1998 to have a third-party verification of a building's environmental soundness, certifies new homes, schools and other buildings, as well as existing ones.
