What are the benefits?
The Quality Label can bring to its recipients an increase in trust, credibility, recognition and visibility by highlighting the quality of their badge-issuing activities both within and beyond their sector. The Quality Label includes the essential data (e.g., name of issuing body, date of issuing, validity, etc.) necessary for different institutions and organisations to recognise it more efficiently across sectors. 
﻿
Moreover, getting the Quality Label and committing to upholding its criteria can motivate an Organiser to offer qualitative content and activities. Earning the Quality Label is in and of itself a learning experience that can help develop and improve skills and competencies related to badge recognition. 
﻿
The benefits of the Quality Label can reflect also on learners and stakeholders: by earning badges issued by a Quality Label holder, learners can showcase the quality of their learning journey, which can facilitate the next steps in their pathway by cooperating with or even endorsing a Quality Label holder, stakeholders can demonstrate their commitment to quality learning and also benefit from an increase in credibility, trust and visibility.
