Which content should you review?

Review environmental and sustainability statements in your own texts and in content drawn from the Green Solutions database. The action needed depends on your data, assortment and workflows.

Your own content

Review environmental and sustainability claims in your own texts.

Content from the database

Include content drawn from the Green Solutions database in your review.

Review environmental claims in context

The announcement mentions terms such as “environmentally friendly”, “climate neutral”, “sustainable” and “bee friendly”. Check what each claim refers to and what evidence supports it. A broad statement alone does not replace reviewing the specific product and advertising context.

Who is responsible for each part?

Green Solutions supports operational implementation in your modules. Legal acceptability depends on the individual claim and its context. Green Solutions is a software provider and digitalisation partner; legal assessment and final approval remain with you and, where appropriate, your legal adviser.
