Environmental Claims Training Course

Mastering Environmental Claims to Navigate New Regulations with Confidence

Environmental claims, often referred to as “green claims,” are a common tool used in sales and marketing to highlight the environmental attributes of products or services. In the ever-evolving landscape of consumer rights and sustainability, understanding and correctly implementing environmental claims has never been more crucial. If the message is misleading or the claim is not adequately substantiated, it can expose the organization to reputational and legal risks.

Our new training course provides essential insights into navigating the complexities of environmental claims in alignment with emerging regulations like the Green Claims Directive (GDC) and the Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive (EmpCo). This comprehensive e-learning course equips your team with the knowledge needed to understand the directive’s impacts on your business, ensure compliance to avoid greenwashing, and build consumer trust. It offers a practical guidance to help your business prepare for the new requirements on green claims.
