Requirements
Products carrying the Nordic Ecolabel meet extremely high environmental and often climate requirements.
A life-cycle perspective of the product is analysed, i.e., the product's impact on the environment from raw material/source to waste.
Criteria is also set with regard to:
Quality
health aspects, and
performance/functionality.
Each product group has overriding general criteria requirements as well as product-specific requirements.

Misa – Carbon Footprint calculator
Carbon Footprint for Municipalities/Cities
MiSA has calculated the carbon footprint for all Norwegian municipalities using its klimakost model.
Misa can deliver much more detailed data on request and adapt the model for other countries. CO2 Focus
Carbon footprint for businesses Misa offer klimakost for businesses as well. Klimakost is a tool for calculating the carbon footprint of businesses and organizations. When a business undertakes a klimakost analysis, the results will be benchmarked against the average for your industry or sector.
Misa offer klimakost analyses on several different levels.  If the company is relatively small, Misa recommend a simpler analysis, while larger companies may benefit more from a full analysis that pinpoints emissions from various departments and activities.
