Abstract

The use (and misuse) of environmental marketing, including environmental labels, has become an increasingly important issue for firms, government and the broader community.This paper outlines existing environmental labelling practices in Australia and provides insights into how these potentially influence consumers’ and producers’ choices, and thus affect environmental outcomes. The paper discusses the features that environmental labels need to have if they are to facilitate the effective operation of markets and provide environmental benefits
