Travel greener

The "Green travel" label is a national symbol that highlights that a product has an official eco-certification. When you chose a product labeled with the "Grass turf" you can be assured that the business follow strict rules and guidelines for the production and management of waste, energy, transport, use of chemicals and demands for subcontractors. These measures go beyond what the Norwegian law requires.
