• Welcome to .ECO The .ECO Story

    Welcome to .ECO

    The environmental community has come together to create a new domain name ending:  .ECO instead of .COM.

    The world’s leading environmental groups and their members care deeply about protecting this online space for the environmental community.

    You can help ensure that .ECO becomes a trusted badge that represents a true commitment to sustainability.

    “The most exciting thing about .ECO is that we're finally going to have a hub where everyone who's working on sustainability issues can come together.”

    The .ECO Vision

    People want to know the truth behind environmental claims.

    The .ECO Profile will create that global one stop shop. Free and reliable  environmental information for all.

    Run this way, .ECO could become the Internet’s global symbol for environmental integrity.

    "The value that .ECO brings to the sustainability community is that finally we have one spot where we can all go and share good, accurate, verifiable information."

    Policy Consensus

    Our International Council of 12 leading environmental groups spent two years coming to agreement on a constitution for .ECO. Called the ‘.ECO Consensus’, this historic document is a true coming together of the environmental community.

    It took dozens of meetings, independently run by The Meridian Institute, to turn that input into a true agreement.

    On September 16th, 2010 the Council reached unanimous agreement on a Dot Eco Policy Consensus. Today and long into the future this Consensus will be .ECO’s foundation.

    ".ECO has a broad picture of what sustainability means and what the sustainability community wants to see as a result of .ECO."

    - Martin Atkin, WWF
  • Who's on Board

    Who’s On Board

    A strong foundation of more than fifty environmental networks, representing thousands more organizations and millions of members, who understand the importance of creating and preserving this online space.

    The Dot Eco Community Council organizations like WWF, Green Cross, and Greenpeace. Standards groups like ISEAL, an association of leading ecolabels, and B-Lab, keepers of the B-Corp certification are also participating. It’s a truly global, multi-stakeholder, group.

    A team of experts has worked in partnership with the Council to coordinate their efforts and will ensure that Dot Eco is managed professionally in accordance with the community’s vision.

    "With .ECO, finally the sustainability community has carved out our own little section of the internet and we actually have the ability to control the type of information that's shared and presented."

Our .ECO Vision

A .ECO that represents the members of the Community and their commitment to the planet.

Doing so will give millions of people, non-profits and green businesses who truly care about acting sustainably a simple way to share their commitment.

What’s more, .ECO will become a unifying space for Community members to track their environmental impact and take measurable steps towards achieving sustainability.

.ECO is built on a Consensus that leading environmental groups came together to agree on. Your organization can partner with them now to support this consensus.
