We wanted a label that:
- Focuses on conventional food
- Can make the environmental impact of a product visible
- Induces a process with the participants to increase the sustainability of their products step by step
- Rests on measurable indicators -> you can only manage what you know
- Creates a Win – Win situation for producers – retailer – customer and environment
- Focuses on whole production chain

All indicators are transformed into values between 0 – 1 using a weighing function
To comply with the Label
- all indicator values have to be above the critical-value
- the average over all indicator values has to equal or exceed 0.75

Results
After starting with the labeling of Austrian open-land strawberries in June 2010 by now
• Over 400 farms have submitted data• 25 product groups have been screened from which • 17 products labeled. • 21 stakeholder workshops were conducted

Possibility to achieve improvements over whole production chain e.g.:
• Changed packaging e.g. Strawberries• Increased share of reusable transport-packaging• Commitments to change fruit rotation• Commitment to change water use (Spain)• Replacing synthetic with organic-fungicide• Replacing South American soya with European• Biodiversity projects

Success factors• Largely relying on data that is available and recorded anyway• Indicators point at hotspots• Indicators cover resource use, emissions & health• Improvements can be quantified & communicated • Indicators are relevant for producers• Life cycle approach• Third party assessments• Stakeholder involvement
