For you who want to build sustainably

As a well-known, credible and most respected ecolabel, the Nordic Swan Ecolabel really is a confirmation that your building is good for the environment, climate and people’s health. Your customers can rely on an outside independent party who makes tough demands and controls during the entire construction process.
