Webinar replay: Greenwashing - navigating sustainable practices according to the Green Claims Directive

Watch the recording of our past webinar where the speakers from Mazars and Ipsos dug into the dreaded greenwashing. You'll find out what the new European Green Claims Directive contains, as well as what what is the point of view of business and consumers according the current surveys.

In the world of sustainable business, accusations of greenwashing are a nightmare for companies. Even well-intentioned businesses can make mistakes that lead to misleading claims about the environmental impact of their products and services. As well as losing reputation and trust, companies risk lawsuits and fines.

As the society we are at the sensitive intersection of business and environmental responsibility, it is essential to keep an eye on the development of legislation. In this context, the European Parliament has taken an active step in tackling the problem of greenwashing. In 2023, the EP has drafted a new Green Claims Directive (GCD), which aims to set clear guidelines and standards and thus create a framework to protect consumers from misleading environmental claims.
