ADEME and the Ecolabel Toolbox partners
The Ecolabel Toolbox website was developed in early 2015 by the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME), in collaboration with certification bodies. This tool is a more comprehensive and user-friendly version of a first tool created under the EU ShMILE 2 project. The ShMILE 2 project started up in January 2012, promoting the European Ecolabel for tourist accommodations.
