The new directive on green claims will outline the information that companies should provide to authorities to substantiate their environmental marketing claims. Companies that violate the directive will be penalised, and the new directive will specify the conditions regarding the use of claims that compare several products and clarify the conditions relating to claims about carbon offsetting and removal.
