"EcoLeaf" is an environmental labeling program that quantitatively shows environmental information throughout the product life cycle (raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, usage and disposal/recycling) using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) formula.

The company's food delivery system for lettuce, tomatoes and onions, which are used at MOS Burger stores, was certified under this program. The environmental impact is calculated from data on the consumption of energy, packaging and other materials used in the transport of each ton of food, and this information is available on the JEMAI website.
