Climate-related claims are often unclear and ambiguous, which misleads consumers.
We need to end #greenwashing.
And we need more real sustainable options available to us.

Looking at all these “eco”, “carbon neutral” tags on products makes us wonder 🤔
Are they really true?
More than 50% of green claims in the EU are misleading or unfounded.
We want clear common rules for companies to prove these claims.
