The Nordic Swan Ecolabel focuses on reducing environmental impact, mitigating climate change, and ensuring that chemical and building products used in construction are not harmful to human health. The certification sets strict requirements across a range of environmental factors, including the use of hazardous substances, waste minimization, energy and water consumption, as well as overall quality and durability.
Verkís specialists have many years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel system. Verkís offers consultancy for Swan certification projects, project management, and support in design in accordance with certification requirements. We emphasize structured workflows and strong expertise in the standards of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. Verkís is a licensed operator for Swan certification and can therefore manage and take responsibility for the certification process.
Key benefits of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel include:
- Improved building quality
- Reduced environmental impact
- Healthier and safer buildings
- Lower operating costs
EPD (Environmental Product Declarations)
Verkís also provides support and consultancy for the preparation of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). In many cases, it is necessary to document the environmental impact of materials in order for them to be used in Nordic Swan Ecolabel-certified buildings.
