Today we face all sorts of environmental problems, from global warming, destruction of the ozone layer and polluted rivers, to loss of biodiversity and piles of waste. Fortunately there are products and services that make a positive difference and actively help to inflict less damage on the environment.

Since 1992, the "flower" has become a European-wide symbol to help European consumers distinguish greener, more environmentally friendly products and services.

Kandersteg International Scout Centre works hard on being a leading Scout Centre in enviornmental issues. Our Environmental Policy sets our mission and methods regarding reaching this goal. A completely revised Environmental Policy and a 5 year action plan were developed in 2009.

After many years of hard work KISC was awarded the Eco Label and certified as a Centre that actively helps to protect the environment.

The EU Eco-Label is administered by the European Eco-Labelling Board (EUEB) and receives the support of the European Commission, all Member States of the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA). The Eco-Labelling Board includes representatives such as industry, environment protection groups and consumer organisations.
