The report is a joint effort of 31 students from 23 countries, who are participants of the International Master’s Programme “Master of Science in Environmental Management and Policy ” at the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics at Lund University. The report is the outcome of an exercise of one of the programme’s advanced courses “Auditing for Cleaner Production ”.

The Nordic Swan eco-labelling scheme has been in operation since 1989. The research presented in this thesis concentrates on the kinds of influences, effects and changes caused by the Nordic scheme.

These schemes are flooding the market and the researchers raise the question, is there enough credibility in these schemes? This piece of research is based on 58 eco-labeling like food
