EKOenergy is a globally active nonprofit ecolabel for renewable energy (electricity, gas, and heat and cold).

Well-known users of EKOenergy-ecolabelled electricity include the European telecom operator Iliad Group,[23] Microsoft,[24] the German glass manufacturer SCHOTT,[25] SAP[26] and Pampers[27] (Procter & Gamble).

[33] Examples of earlier funded projects: The LEED Standard explicitly recommends the use of EKOenergy labelled electricity.

The text “LEED 2009 BD+C Supplemental Reference Guide with Alternative Compliance Paths for Europe”[37] gives EKOenergy the same status as Green-e certified RECs in the US.

EKOenergy certifies renewable electricity that goes beyond the regulations of European directives and national governments of Europe."

In January 2015, the Secretariat of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol published the Scope 2 Guidance, which gave advice about carbon accounting.
