HEADS UP FOR THE
GREEN CLAIMS DIRECTIVE
The European Commission has proposed a Green Claims Directive to combat greenwashing and ensure transparent environmental claims are made by companies operating in the EU.
This directive aims to regulate how companies market their environmental impacts and performance, covering voluntary claims made to EU consumers regarding a product, service, or organisation’s positive environmental effects. It sets minimum norms for substantiating, communicating, and verifying environmental claims. Companies will be prohibited from making claims based on emissions offsetting, effectively banning them. This includes claims of being ’carbon-neutral,’ as such claims are considered greenwashing.
While compliance could be costly, it reduces reputational risks, enhances brand value, and
offers strategic planning benefits. Companies should assess their readiness and consider
potential benefits and challenges, so be aware!
The directive is expected to come into force in early 2024.
