    Keywords : Information visualization; Sustainability; Sustainability Performance Indicators; Informationsvisualisering; Hållbarhet; Hållbarhetsprestandaindikatorer;

    Abstract : Communication around climate change is a challenging area. It is beneficial for companies to present themselves as more environmentally sustainable than they are, leading to greenwashing. Type 1 ecolabels, as described in the ISO standard 14024, try to mitigate this problem by providing independent verification of a company’s claims. READ MORE
