Voluntary Agreement

Check-list of actions In order to get Io Riduco! label, two evaluation tools exist so that the firms' evaluation can be objective, scientific and shared: - a checklist base for the large retail of different sizes according to the retail type: hypermarkets, supermarkets and small supermarkets; - a Decalogue for small retailers. The Decalogue is a versatile and clear tool. The ten engagements can be taken by any shop, either selling products (cloths, stationary, etc.) or selling services (barber, beauty centre, etc.).

Common procedure to grant ZEROTRADE diploma

The improvement ranges are subdivided in score classes per each type of shop applying for the label in a particular year, and they indicate whether the level of improvement (actions, technologies and/or procedures to be adopted to upgrade the environmental performances) is sufficient to confirm the following year the label awarding and the shop inclusion in Io Riduco! network.

The checklist, filled out and signed by the shop representatives, will be the self- assessment for joining the network. Once it has been self-assessed and declared that the threshold score has been exceeded, the shop is added to the list of shops joining Io Riduco! network and it will enjoy the benefits provided. After the label Io Riduco! has been delivered, an independent body verifies during the following year the shop compliance. In the yearly improvement phase, the large retailers have to gradually improve their environmental performances in order to keep the label onward. Common procedure to grant ZEROTRADE diploma
