ECOLABEL brand

In 2022 Iscot Italia S.p.A. obtains the important EU ECOLABEL certification for “indoor cleaning services”, identified with the ISCOT GREEN DIVISION brand, created to identify and enhance the “green services with reduced environmental impact” that we design and provide.

The EU ECOLABEL is a European environmental excellence label which is awarded by an independent body to products and services that meet high environmental standards throughout their life cycle, also taking into account the average life span of the products, the their recyclability, the reduction of packaging and their eco-sustainability.

The EU ECOLABEL promotes the circular economy by encouraging producers to generate less waste and CO2 emissions throughout the production process. The label criteria provide stringent guidelines for companies seeking to reduce their environmental impact and ensure the efficiency of their actions through third-party audits.

Iscot Italia S.p.A. has placed environmental sustainability at the heart of its policies and strategies for the development of its services. It therefore proposes eco-sustainable actions and solutions with low environmental impact and we help our customers achieve their sustainability and environmental protection goals, providing a virtuous path of change and continuous improvement for the benefit of the entire community.
