==== Companies ==== Many companies in Europe make putting eco-labels on their products a top-priority since it can result to an increase in sales when there are eco-labels on these products. In Europe specifically, a study was conducted that shows a connection between eco-labels and the purchasing of fish: "Our results show a significant connection between the desire for eco-labeling and seafood features, especially the freshness of the fish, the geographical origin of the fish and the wild ''vs'' farmed origin of the fish".<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Brécard |first1=Dorothée |last2=Hlaimi |first2=Boubaker |last3=Lucas |first3=Sterenn |last4=Perraudeau |first4=Yves |last5=Salladarré |first5=Frédéric |date=2009-11-15 |title=Determinants of demand for green products: An application to eco-label demand for fish in Europe |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921800909003061 |journal=Ecological Economics |series=The DPSIR framework for Biodiversity Assessment |language=en |volume=69 |issue=1 |pages=115–125 |doi=10.1016/j.ecolecon.2009.07.017 |bibcode=2009EcoEc..69..115B |issn=0921-8009|url-access=subscription }}</ref> This article shows that eco-labels are not only reflecting a positive impact on the environment when it comes to creating and preserving products, but also increase sales. However, not all European countries agree on whether certain products, especially fish, should have eco-labels. In the same article, it is remarked: "Surprisingly, the country effect on the probability of accepting a fish eco-label is tricky to interpret. The countries with the highest level of eco-labeling acceptability are Belgium and France".<ref name="Miras Rodríguez 2015">{{Cite journal |last1=Miras Rodríguez |first1=María del Mar |last2=Escobar Pérez |first2=Bernabé |last3=Carrasco Gallego |first3=Amalia |date=2015 |title=Are companies less environmentally-friendly due to the crisis?
