We are delighted to extend a warm invitation to you to join the special joint working group hosted by the SUBMARINER NETWORK on June 24th at 11.00-13.00 CET, focusing on green claims.
With a proposed new law on green claims, the EU is taking action to address greenwashing, and protect consumers and the environment. Proposal for the directive.
Our goal is to bring together policymakers, industry stakeholders, researchers, , and other relevant parties to delve into the intricacies of the new green claims framework and the new EU green claims directive, particularly as they pertain to consumer products.
Through this collaborative session, we aim to foster knowledge exchange and facilitate discussions on best practices, regulatory frameworks and emerging concerns.
