Status note (March 2026): Parliament reported on 20 June 2025 that the Commission intended to withdraw the proposal, and the text has not been adopted. The workflows here remain the most practical way to reduce greenwashing risk and enforceability gaps across EU markets. [Start with the risk checklist](/artifacts/eu/green-claims-directive/greenwashing-risk-checklist.md) ## What you can decide faster - **Is it a green claim**: Claim classification for product pages, ads, packaging, and corporate statements. - **What to prove**: Evidence design: life-cycle thinking, trade-offs, data quality, and boundaries. - **How to approve**: Verification and review workflow that marketing can run without chaos. By Sorena AI | Status: not adopted | Updated Mar 2026 ### Quick scan *Green Claims* - **Classification**: Define claim type and scope (product vs company, absolute vs comparative). - **Evidence pack**: Build substantiation artifacts you can export on request. - **Governance**: Run verification, approvals, and labels governance with logs.

The Commission proposal would cover traders (businesses) making voluntary, explicit environmental claims about products, services, or the trader itself in business-to-consumer (B2C) commercial practices. - The proposal would also cover non-EU businesses when they direct voluntary environmental claims at EU consumers. - **NO** Not In Scope - **YES** Are you a microenterprise? ### STEP 2: Are you a microenterprise? *Reference: Exemptions* - Microenterprises are defined as businesses with fewer than 10 employees and less than EUR 2 million turnover. - If adopted, microenterprises would be exempt from the obligations of the proposal, unless they choose to use the rules. - **YES** Microenterprise Exemption - **NO** What type of environmental claim are you making? ### STEP 3: What type of environmental claim are you making? *Reference: Types of claims* - Explicit environmental claims: Specific statements about environmental impact, aspect, or performance (e.g., packaging made of 30% recycled plastic; commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030 compared to 2020). - Comparative claims: Environmental comparisons with other products or organizations (these would need to be fair and based on equivalent information and data). - Environmental labels: Use of labeling schemes indicating environmental performance. - Offset-based claims: Climate-related claims relying on carbon offsets or credits (e.g., carbon neutral, climate neutral, 100% CO2 compensated). - The proposal would only cover voluntary claims that are not already covered by more specific EU rules. - -> Is your claim already covered by other EU legislation? ### STEP 4: Is your claim already covered by other EU legislation? *Reference: Relationship with other EU rules* - If EU legislation already establishes more specific rules on environmental claims or labels for your sector or product category, those rules would prevail over the Green Claims proposal. - Examples mentioned by the Commission include EU Ecolabel, energy efficiency labels, organic farming label, and EMAS. - **YES** Claim Already Regulated - **NO** Does your claim rely on carbon offsets or credits? ### STEP 5: Does your claim rely on carbon offsets or credits? *Reference: Offset-based claims* - The Commission highlighted offset-based climate claims (e.g., carbon neutral, climate neutral, 100% CO2 compensated) as particularly prone to being unclear and misleading to consumers. - The Commission described the proposal as tackling claims that rely on offsetting and requiring transparency about the role of offsets versus own reductions. - -> Have you completed independent verification of your claim? ### STEP 6: Have you completed independent verification of your claim? *Reference: Verification requirement* - The Commission described the proposal as requiring ex-ante verification of substantiation before claims are communicated to consumers. - Member States would be responsible for setting up verification and enforcement processes, performed by independent and accredited verifiers. - **NO** Independent Verification Required - **YES** Are you creating a new environmental labelling scheme? ### STEP 7: Are you creating a new environmental labelling scheme? *Reference: Environmental labeling schemes* - The Commission described the proposal as controlling the proliferation of public and private environmental labels. - EU-level schemes would be encouraged. - New public schemes (unless developed at EU level) would not be allowed, and new private schemes would only be allowed if they show higher ambition and obtain pre-approval. - **YES** Is the new labelling scheme a public scheme (created or run by a Member State or public authority)? - **NO** Green Claims Proposal Requirements ### STEP 8: Is the new labelling scheme a public scheme (created or run by a Member State or public authority)? *Reference: Environmental labeling schemes* - If yes: the Commission described new public schemes (unless developed at EU level) as not allowed under the proposal. - If no: the Commission described new private schemes as only allowed if they show higher ambition and obtain pre-approval. - **YES** New Public Schemes Not Permitted - **NO** Green Claims Proposal Requirements ## Reference Information ### The Greenwashing Problem - 53.3% of environmental claims examined were vague, misleading, or unfounded (Commission study cited by the Commission, 2020). - 40% of claims examined were completely unsubstantiated (Commission study cited by the Commission, 2020). - Around 230 green labels were identified in the EU (Commission Q&A). - 94% of Europeans say protecting the environment is important to them personally (Special Eurobarometer 501). - 68% agree that their consumption habits adversely affect the environment (Special Eurobarometer 501). ### Substantiation Requirements - Claims would need to be substantiated with scientific evidence that is widely recognised. - Substantiation would take a life-cycle perspective, from raw materials to end-of-life. - Substantiation would identify relevant environmental impacts and any trade-offs between them. - If making comparative claims, comparisons must be fair and based on equivalent information and data. - Claims or labels using aggregate scoring of overall environmental impact would not be permitted unless set in EU rules. - The Commission described the proposal as requiring ex-ante verification, meaning substantiation would be verified before the claim is made. ### Life-Cycle Assessment Approach - The Commission described the proposal as taking a life-cycle approach, from raw materials to end-of-life. - The proposal would expect claims to identify relevant environmental impacts and trade-offs. ### Requirements for Offset-Based Claims - Be transparent about which part of the claim concerns your own operations or value chain, and which part relies on buying offsets. - Focus on reducing emissions in your own organisation or value chain, not only on buying offsets. - Meet the proposal's requirements on the integrity and correct accounting of offsets. ### Independent Verifier Requirements - Verifiers would be independent and accredited. - The verifier would check whether the claim meets the minimum requirements for substantiation and communication described by the Commission. - The Commission described the verifier as issuing a certificate of compliance recognised across the EU. ### Communication Requirements - The Commission described the proposal as setting minimum requirements for substantiation and communication of voluntary environmental claims. - The proposal would complement general EU consumer protection rules that prohibit misleading commercial practices. - Ex-ante verification is intended to ensure claims are not misleading before they are placed on the market. ### New Private Environmental Labeling Schemes - The Commission described new private labelling schemes as only allowed if they can show higher environmental ambition than existing ones and obtain pre-approval. - For private operators (including those outside the EU) placing new schemes on the EU market, the Commission described notification and approval requirements. - Environmental labels were described as needing to be transparent, verified by a third party, and regularly reviewed. ### Using Existing Environmental Labels - EU Ecolabel: Official EU voluntary label for environmental excellence, already regulated and recognized. - EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme): EU scheme for companies to evaluate, report, and improve environmental performance. - Energy efficiency labels: Regulated under specific EU legislation. - Organic farming labels: Regulated under EU organic production rules. - The Commission described the Green Claims proposal as limited to claims that are not currently covered by other EU rules. ### Enforcement and Penalties - Member States would be responsible for setting up verification and enforcement processes for the proposed rules. - Penalties and enforcement details would be set at Member State level, in line with the directive if adopted. - Consumer organizations can bring collective actions to protect consumer interests (Representative Actions Directive 2020/1828). - Misleading commercial practices can also be addressed under general EU consumer protection law. ### Relationship with Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (UCPD) - The Commission described the Green Claims proposal as complementing the UCPD, which generally prohibits misleading commercial practices. - The UCPD is being strengthened through the 'Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition' directive (proposed March 2022). - The Commission described the proposal as introducing verification requirements before claims can be made and put on the market. ### Support for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) - The Commission described microenterprises as exempt (unless they opt in) to avoid disproportionate burden. - The Commission described the proposal as asking Member States to help SMEs apply the requirements (financial support, organisational assistance, technical assistance). - The Commission also described funding support for data and calculation tools for SMEs. ### International Traders and Third-Country Businesses - The Commission described the proposal as applying to non-EU businesses when they make voluntary environmental claims directed at EU consumers. - The Commission also described notification and approval requirements for new labelling schemes placed on the EU market by private operators, including from external partners. ### Benefits of Compliance - Competitive advantage for companies making a genuine effort to improve environmental performance. - Reduced legal fragmentation in the internal market and lower cross-border compliance costs. - More trustworthy information for consumers and reinforced credibility for EU industries outside the EU. ### Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) Methodology - The Commission Recommendation 2021/2279 describes EU-recommended Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and Organisation Environmental Footprint (OEF) methods. - PEF/OEF methods are life-cycle assessment approaches that quantify environmental impacts across the life cycle. - PEF Category Rules (PEFCRs) guidance exists to support consistent assessments for specific product groups. - PEF/OEF can be one way to support robust substantiation of voluntary environmental claims. ## Possible Outcomes ### [RESULT] Claim Already Regulated Existing EU rules apply - Your environmental claim is covered by specific EU legislation (e.g., EU Ecolabel, energy efficiency label, organic farming label). - Follow the requirements of that specific EU scheme. - The Commission described the Green Claims proposal as limited to claims that are not currently covered by other EU rules. ### [RESULT] Microenterprise Exemption Optional compliance - If adopted, the Green Claims proposal would exempt microenterprises from its obligations, unless they choose to use the rules. - Even if exempt, misleading commercial practices can still be addressed under general EU consumer protection rules. ### [RESULT] Not In Scope Proposal not in scope - You are not making voluntary environmental claims to consumers in the EU, or you are not a trader. - The Green Claims proposal would not apply in this case, but other EU and national consumer protection rules may still be relevant. ### [ACTION] Independent Verification Required Verify before communicating the claim - If adopted, the proposal would require ex-ante verification by an independent and accredited verifier before the claim is communicated to consumers. - Prepare your substantiation and complete the verification process before publishing or marketing the claim. ### [RESULT] New Public Schemes Not Permitted EU-level schemes only - The Commission described new public environmental labelling schemes (unless developed at EU level) as not allowed under the proposal. - The Commission also described EU-wide schemes as encouraged (e.g., EU Ecolabel). ### [RESULT] Green Claims Proposal Requirements Substantiation and ex-ante verification (if adopted) - The Commission described the proposal as setting minimum requirements for substantiation and communication of voluntary environmental claims, with ex-ante verification by independent and accredited verifiers. - Substantiation would need scientific evidence, a life-cycle perspective, and identification of relevant impacts and trade-offs. - Comparisons would need to be fair and based on equivalent information and data. - If offsets are used, the Commission described the proposal as requiring transparency about what part of a claim concerns own operations versus offsets, plus requirements on integrity and correct accounting. ## Green Claims Directive Timeline | Date | Event | Reference | | --- | --- | --- | | 2023-03-22 | Commission publishes proposal for the Green Claims Directive (COM(2023)0166) and Q&A | COM(2023)0166 | | 2024-03-12 | European Parliament adopts first-reading position | Legislative procedure | | 2024-06-17 | Council approves general approach | Legislative procedure | ## Compliance Timeline | Date | Event | Category | Reference | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2020-01-01 | Environmental Claims in the EU (Study) | Supporting frameworks | | | 2021-12-01 | Environmental Footprint Recommendation Published (December 2021) | Supporting frameworks | | | 2022-01-01 | Impact Assessment Report Published (Empowering Consumers) | Supporting frameworks | | | 2022-03-30 | Empowering Consumers Proposal Put Forward | Commission actions | | | 2023-03-22 | Green Claims Directive Proposal Published | Legislative milestones | | | 2023-03-22 | Commission Q&A Published | Commission actions | | | 2023-06-01 | Committee Referral Announced (1st Reading) | Parliament actions | | | 2023-06-14 | EESC Opinion Published | Supporting frameworks | | | 2023-07-12 | Referral to Joint Committee Announced | Parliament actions | | | 2023-07-13 | AGRI Opinion Rapporteur Appointed | Committee work | | | 2023-07-26 | National Parliament Contribution (Italy) | Supporting frameworks | | | 2023-10-10 | Committee of the Regions Opinion Published | Supporting frameworks | | | 2023-10-11 | Committee Draft Report | Committee work | | | 2023-11-13 | Amendments Tabled | Committee work | | | 2023-11-17 | EPRS Policy Podcast Published | Supporting frameworks | | | 2024-01-25 | AGRI Opinion Published | Committee work | | | 2024-02-14 | Vote in Committee (1st Reading) | Committee work | | | 2024-02-23 | Committee Report Tabled for Plenary | Committee work | | | 2024-03-05 | EPRS Briefing Published | Supporting frameworks | | | 2024-03-11 | Parliament Debate | Parliament actions | | | 2024-03-12 | Parliament First-Reading Position Adopted | Legislative milestones | | | 2024-06-17 | Council General Approach Approved | Council actions | | | 2024-07-22 | Commission Response to Parliament Text | Commission actions | | | 2024-10-11 | EPRS Briefing Updated (Oct 2024 Edition) | Supporting frameworks | | | 2024-11-13 | Committee Referral Announced (New Term) | Parliament actions | | | 2024-12-04 | Decision to Open Interinstitutional Negotiations | Committee work | | | 2024-12-16 | Negotiation Decision Announced in Plenary | Parliament actions | | **Event details:** -
