What is the UK Green Claims Legislation?

The UK Green Claims Code is a crucial legislation introduced by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to protect consumers in the United Kingdom. This code applies to all businesses and provides clear guidelines to prevent misleading or deceptive environmental claims, commonly known as "greenwashing." It requires businesses to maintain transparency and accuracy in their environmental claims, ensuring they are truthful and unambiguous.

Status

The UK Green Claims legislation is currently in effect, requiring businesses that make environmental claims to comply with the Green Claims Code. This code was published by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in September 2021, outlining the guidelines and standards for businesses to follow when making such claims.

Who does it apply to?

It is a comprehensive code that extends its coverage to various commercial activities, including advertising, product labeling, packaging, and product naming.
