The Heat is On

Regulators, investors, and consumers are scrutinising environmental claims like never before. The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) are cracking down on misleading green statements.

Recent cases show the stakes are high:

  • Hefty Recycling Bags faced a class-action lawsuit for falsely claiming their bags were recyclable.
  • Innocent Drinks was ruled against by the ASA for misleading environmental claims in their adverts.
  • Quorn Foods had an advert banned for misleading carbon footprint claims.
