Thai Green Label or Eco-Label Scheme

Thailand is a party to the Green Label Scheme, which was started in Germany in 1977 and presently comprises more than 20 countries. The scheme was established in Thailand in October 1993 as a collaborative undertaking of The Thailand Industrial Standards Institute (TISI), the Ministry of Industry, and the Thailand Business Council for Sustainable Development (TBCSD) with the cooperation of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment and the private sector.

With the Thai people's growing awareness of the critical environmental situation and the need for conservation, manufacturers and service providers have also been awakened and forced to assess their operations and products in terms of their impact on the environment in order to meet the changing needs of the public and thus remain competitive. Tilleke & Gibbins, as a TBCSD member, participates in the activities of the Thai Green Label Scheme Committee through its representative. The Committee's responsibilities include selecting categories of products, determining and approving their specifications, stipulations, and consulting with each other with regard to the amendment and expiration of such specifications.
