Listen to Dimitri Vergne, team leader for sustainability at the European Consumer Organisation BEUC.
In this episode, we welcome Dimitri Vergne, team leader for sustainability at the European Consumer Organisation BEUC to discuss the newly published EU anti-greenwashing law, the draft Directive on green claims. Dimitri has been a principal advocate for this law and explains what it means for consumers and for business.
He shares his insights on:
“Carbon neutrality is one of the most striking examples of greenwashing: You're told that your flight might be carbon-neutral. Or the bananas you buy. But every product generates CO2 emissions. Companies are claiming carbon neutrality by offsetting or compensating for the emissions linked to the product. The problem is that many of these offsetting schemes are not trustworthy.”
