According to the organization's website: the emphasis is placed on "Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency (ACT) around manufacturing, energy and water use, packaging, and end-of-life."19(para 1) ACT makes it easy to choose more sustainable products by providing standardized environmental impact factor labels. Note: Only the companies that choose to have the ACT label will possess it; a company not listed in the database does not mean its products are more or less environmentally sustainable than those that are listed in the database.
The image below shows the information listed on the ACT label and how to interpret it.20
