The goal of the Swan system – the official ecolabel for the Nordic countries – is to create a sustainable society in which we all choose and use the most environmentally-friendly products. The Swan ecolabel is managed by a non-profit corporation that has been commissioned by the Nordic Council of Ministers, an intergovernmental forum for co-operation between the Nordic countries. The Swan organisation checks products meet the highest standards through testing by independent laboratories, certification and inspection. The label is usually valid for three years, after which the criteria for ecolabelling are gradually made stricter and the company is required to apply for the label again. This system guarantees the development of more environmentally friendly products. Bestå Täckfärg by Alcro carries the Swan Label
