Eco-friendly or environmentally friendly (also called environmentally friendly, naturally friendly, environmentally friendly) is a sustainable way to ecosystem claims, minimal or innocuous goods and services, laws, guidelines and policies, or environmental reduction Potential and marketing terms. [1] Companies use these ambiguous terms to advertise goods and services. In addition, we may use more specific authentication such as ecolabel. Their overuse can be called greening. [2] [3] [4]
The International Organization for Standardization developed ISO 14020 and ISO 14024 to determine the principles and procedures of environmental labels and declarations that the certification body and ecolabella should follow. In particular, these standards include avoiding economic conflicts of interest, using sound scientific methods and certified testing procedures, and the openness and transparency of the standards.

Products in EU Member States can use the EU Eco Label before EU approval. [6] EMAS is another EU label [7] that indicates whether organization management is green rather than product. Germany also uses a blue angel based on German standards. [9]
In the United States, the requirements of environmental marketing need to be cautious. If there is no concrete definition, environment friendly fuzzy headlines may be confusing, and some regulatory agencies provide guidance. [10] The US Environmental Protection Agency considers certain ecolabels to be misleading when determining whether a product is really "green" or not. [11]
In Canada, the label is the label of the environment selection program. [9] was created in 1988 and [12] permits only product approval for display by program. [13]
The energy rating label is a Type III label [14] [15] that provides information on 'energy service per unit of energy consumption'. It was originally made in 1986, but negotiations brought about redesign in 2000. [17]
Environmental trends are sold in various color combinations using blue clean air and clean water instead of green in Western culture. Hybrid vehicles made in Japan and Korea use blue rather than green inside the car and use the word "blue" indiscriminately. [Required citation]
ENERGY STAR is a program mainly aimed at improving energy efficiency and indirectly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. [18] ENERGY STAR has parts that vary from country to country, such as the United States, [19], EU [20], Australia. This program was founded in the United States and is also taking place in Canada, Japan, New Zealand and Taiwan. [twenty two]
Figure 2.10. If the cost of environmentally friendly products is slightly higher than the cost of non-environmentally friendly products, do you think we need to actually pay additional costs to purchase environmentally friendly products? Source: "Update on Green Consumptionism: Environmentalism and Impact on American Consumers" Cambridge reports. International Study September 1991: 32 According to a survey conducted by Yankelovich Partners, 55% of consumers respond that they will pay more than 10% for products 2. They can be confident that products will not harm the environment (Yankelovich Partners 1992). According to a survey conducted by Roper's organization, for environmentally safe products, average consumers will pay up to 6.6% of expenses (Wasik 1992). Figure 2.11 shows that from July 1986 to July 1989, the willingness to pay higher prices for eco-friendly products decreased slightly but increased from July 89, 1990 to July 1990 by 20% Respectively.

Panasonic's most challenging task to promote sustainable development in Malaysia is the pricing of environmentally friendly products. Since consumers have to pay higher prices for these products over non-environmental products, it is expensive to manufacture environmentally friendly products. In addition, people still need to change their lifestyles and accept more environmentally friendly things. Changing the way of thinking into environmentally conscious must be continuous. Collaborative efforts of individuals, groups and societies are needed before we reach a complete "green" cycle. Contribution to the Green Environment Panasonic Malaysia is committed to various initiatives related to the environment to help protect the environment in all aspects. Some environmental initiatives include Go Green campaign, computer recycling project, sponsorship of World Forestry anniversary.
