Between 2015 and 2017, UN Environment and the International Trade Centre led a consultative process to develop international guidelines for companies, standard-setting organizations and governments to provide reliable sustainability information to consumers on products (goods and services). Inter-disciplinary organisations from around the world joined this process to help make sustainable consumption the easy option, through a working group of the Consumer Information Programme of the 10 Year Framework of Programmes for Sustainable Consumption and Production. Guidelines development and stakeholder consultations were facilitated in partnership with Thema1.
A global platform has been created, that supports the provision of quality information on goods and services, to engage and assist consumers in sustainable consumption.
