Could your sustainability-focused brand be accidentally greenwashing?
A global sweep of websites found that 40% of ‘green claims’ could be misleading customers.
Regulators are getting stricter.
Later this Spring, UK regulators are set to be empowered with the ability to fine greenwashing companies up to 10% of global turnover, or £300,000, whichever is greater – and Directors could face personal liability and disqualification.
And it’s not just the big greenwashing culprits that need to worry.
Being compliant with The Green Claims Code is as much about how you present your evidence, as what evidence you hold. And it applies to any public facing claims you’re making – not just your paid advertising.
