Green Claims Directive (GCD)

This is a set of rules that will prevent misleading or deceptive environmental claims made by companies about their products. This will apply to companies who want to make vague environmental claims, such as “eco-friendly,” “green,” or “sustainable.” The goal is to ensure companies provide accurate and reliable information to consumers. There is currently no deadline for compliance. This directive will help prevent greenwashing and encourage transparency from big companies.
