VEA Builds Vietnam Green Label Criteria

The Vietnam Environment Administration recently organised a workshop on building of Vietnam Green Label Criteria in Hanoi. This aimed to gather expert ideas for Vietnam Green Label Criteria to be applied to office papers, batteries, shampoo, conditioners, and other hair care products, hand-washing water and soaps.

 

Mr Le Ke Son, Deputy General Director of the Vietnam Environment Administration, said building Vietnam Green Label Criteria should have the consistency in document principles, content rationale, practicality and reality. The criteria should facilitate and encourage enterprises to participate in Vietnam Green Label.

 

To certify Vietnam Green Label, companies need to have environmental impact assessment on products and meet general criteria like entire compliance with monitoring, wastewater discharge, and specific criteria for products.
