About the GreenFacts publications

A GreenFacts publication is a faithful summary of an international scientific report, peer-reviewed by independent experts. Publications include:

• Digests which are peer-reviewed and published under the authority of the GreenFacts Scientific Board of independent experts. More...
• Co-Publications which are produced under contract with the DG Health and Consumers of the European Commission. They are also peer-reviewed, but the publication process is overviewed by the Commission. More...

GreenFacts Publications are published online in several languages as questions and answers. They are presented in GreenFacts' copyrighted Three-Level Structure of increasing detail, which allows readers to choose the level of detail that best suits their needs. Complex words are explained in a comprehensive glossary which opens in a side window. In addition, Co-Publications are published on the European Commission’s website. For some of the latest Digests, paper versions of the Level-1 summaries have been printed and can be ordered.

The GreenFacts Initiative is a non-profit project founded in 2001. Initially “GreenFacts Foundation” and then changed to "GreenFacts" in 2004, it is now managed by Cogeneris sprl. More...
