Sustainability related product labelling in China

This project examines the institutionalisation of Chinese product labelling schemes across different fields, drawing conclusions for the planned implementation of a Chinese carbon labelling scheme. Amongst others, the research focusses on organic certification in the dairy sector, also looking at transformations in the dairy supply chain and their environmental as well as food safety implications. Comparisons are made with recent developments in the UK. The research is co-funded by the SCI and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at Fudan University, China.
