Eco-labels can bring out a positive perception in people towards the environment.

The research took place in Bangalore and the duration to complete this research paper was around 30 days. A mixed methodology is used. Through this study, we understand people’s choices and their perception towards the eco-labels and their awareness about the eco-labels and if given a choice would their preference still be the same or changed. The results obtained, eco-labels play a vital role in green marketing by serving as a trusted guide for environmentally conscious consumers. Through providing transparent information about the sustainability of products, eco-labels empower consumers to make informed choices aligned with their values [2].
