Synopsis: With the UK’s new anti-greenwashing rule now a year and a half old, it is a good time to take stock of the regulatory requirements around greenwashing. In this seminar, we will look at EU and UK regulatory initiatives, and how regulators and firms are viewing greenwashing risks and issues. We will look at research published by ESMA in December on product names and the use of ESG related terms, work planned by ESMA in 2026, and initiatives of the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK. Finally, we will look at the constantly evolving landscape in terms of litigation and enforcement. In particular, we will consider whether the appetite for greenwashing claims is being impacted by the fragmented regulatory landscape, and the current work underway in the EU and UK to scale back requirements and reduce the regulatory burden to focus on economic growth.
