Label

English Other Other
France also promotes initiatives of that kind. As an example, since 2019, all classes from middle and high schools have been required to elect an ambassador for sustainable development with the mission of enhancing environmental friendly projects and behaviors. Labels or contest are also organized to promote the best use of electricity : in 2021, 270 middle and high schools challenged themselves in the annual energy-saving contest CUBE.S that led to an average of 12% energy consumption decrease per schools.

What does the Label in line 4 mean?
I'd appreciate it if you could tell me.
Thank you very much,

@ Daryo Vas-y, go ahead — I'm too tied up to do it right now.

And cf. the way 'label' is used in FR — in fact, rather similar to this usage here.
I always come back to the use of 'mark', as in 'BS Kitemark' and 'Woolmark'
Daryo Oct 17, 2022:
@ Tony M I was about to post practically the same explanation as my answer.
You want to put is as your answer?
Tony M Oct 17, 2022:
@ ATIL That is the most basic, literal dictionary definition of the term, but here it is being used in a more conceptual way, to describe some kind of 'quality mark' that can be 'awarded to' / 'bestowed upon' certain things, like the 'Pure New Wool' or 'Sustainable Forestry' or 'Fair Trade' schemes, often manifested by a special logo which acts as a 'virtual label'.
So things like 'Eco-Friendly Building', for example (I don't know if that's actually a real one or not!)
ATIL KAYHAN Oct 16, 2022:
@Jennifer I think "organize" here means to arrange rather than the actual manufacturing of the labels.
Jennifer Levey Oct 16, 2022:
@Atil But 'labels' of the kind you refer to are 'designed', not 'organized', as per the ST.
ATIL KAYHAN Oct 16, 2022:
A Merriam-Webster Definition "written or printed matter accompanying an article to furnish identification or other information"
Label here refers to a printed matter that is designed to educate consumers regarding the proper use of electricity.
Jennifer Levey Oct 16, 2022:
Probably an error The ST has several grammatical errors and was most likely not written by a native English-speaker. 'labels' makes no sense in the quoted paragraph, and is probably a mistake.

Labels ... are also organized to promote the best use of electricity

There is nothing wrong with this sentence, however odd it might sound.

The "labels" in questions are a kind of distinctive visual "quality marks" / "seals of approval" / "credentials" / "badges of honour" & similar that the company will use as part of its marketing and put them on its website, on all invoices, on all correspondence and on all products (if they sell something tangible) - like "woolmark" for wool or "organic" for food.

A "label" of this kind is not going to create itself.

Someone has to decide what the label will be associated with (clean energy / energy efficiency or whatever is to be promoted), what would be the criteria to obtain this newly created label, someone has to deal with applications to obtain the label, to monitor for possible fraudulent use of the label, etc...

Looks to me like there's a lot of "organising" involved in creating some little "quality mark" to put next to a company name.

In the same way as someone would have to "organise" the whole procedure around planning permissions or pub licences, or all various ISO-whatever labels.

A title or slogan to describe something, in this case the best use in electricity, in particular way

To promote the best use of electricity we held an event and give it a name or label such as CUBE. In this way label is a slogan to campaign the best use of energy
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : Not as it is being used here. It means a kind of 'quality certification'

certifications / standards (see explanation)

standard is both the set of rules and the required specifications to meet, certification is the 'stamp of approval' you get by meeting them

I don't deny there are other ays to express it as said by others, but in the field of quality management we usually used this terminology

AOC, AOP, IGP, Label Rouge (other produce) are typical "labels" in the food industry
HPE, Effinergie (building construction energy efficiency) are others
etcetera
