Together with you, we want to offer customers a wide variety of choices – including sustainable assortment. And to really help customers make a more sustainable choice, sustainability labels are also displayed at bol.com. These labels provide more information at a glance, for example about the origin, production and environmental impact of an item.
What is sustainable assortment
A more sustainable assortment within the bol catalog includes items that meet at least one of these three criteria:
- The item has an approved eco-label.
- The item consists of a minimum of 50% sustainable materials.
- The article is in a product category that has been approved as a more sustainable alternative.
