Our proposal sets criteria for how companies should substantiate green claims.

It requires them to be independently verified & proven with scientific evidence.

It also includes rules to control the proliferation of environmental labels.

53% of green claims in the EU are misleading or unfounded.

With the Green Claims Directive proposal, we reassure consumers that when something is sold as green, it actually is green.

🔹 boost the repair sector and
🔹 make repairs easier and cheaper for consumers. ↓
