BESKRIVNING

With regulatory developments and greenwashing litigation becoming increasingly prevalent in the EU and beyond, it is vital to stay on top of the complex and evolving EU rules on greenwashing and environmental claims.

We will explore the current legal framework – including the Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive, the proposed but currently uncertain Green Claims Directive, and national enforcement measures – examining what is still in force, what is changing, and what should be monitored. In particular, we will explain the legal definitions and scope of greenwashing under EU law, and which types of environmental claims are banned, restricted, or require third-party verification.

Using practical examples, including case law, we will also discuss the financial and reputational impacts of misleading claims, including enforcement risks and penalties.

Equipped with the learnings from this session, participants will be able to effectively assess and advise on the compliance of their company's environmental communications and labelling and associated risks.
