On 19 September 2023, the European Parliament and Council reached a provisional agreement on new rules governing environmental claims. This follows the European Commission's proposal for a Directive (the Green Claims Directive) which was published in March 2023. Specifically, the Directive aims to prevent companies making unclear or unsubstantiated environmental claims (so-called "greenwashing") and using labels that are not credible. The end goal is to enable consumers to make sustainable choices.
