Nature Plus®

Since its foundation in 2001, natureplus e.V. has brought the interests of building professionals from the building materials industry, merchants, planners and the construction sector together with those of environmental and consumer protection agencies, trades unions and critical scientists from across Europe in order to promote sustainable building and accommodation.

The association is structured in such a manner that the interests of the most important players within the building sector are combined in a participative, democratic fashion. This approach leads to decisions that can be supported by all the interested parties.

Since 2018, natureplus e. V. has been officially recognized as a public utility institute for consumer protection. The association will continue to define the fundamental concepts and criteria of the natureplus label. An independent Criteria Commission ensures the transparent and non-discriminatory determination of the requirements by taking into account the views of all interested parties.

In addition, even more than in the past, the natureplus association is involved in scientific and political discussions and campaigns for the promotion of sustainable building materials across Europe. To this end, natureplus will count on the support of its active members and partners.

Through the publication of relevant information materials and educational events, architects and decision makers in particular, but also consumers and developers, will be kept informed and educated about sustainable building materials.
