Your Sustainable Claims Validation Journey
YOUR CHALLENGE
Fear and uncertainty have spread among brands and retailers due to global crackdowns on sustainable claims, leading to caution in promoting their eco-friendly efforts to avoid fines.
Brands have hesitated to promote their sustainability credentials due to a need for more awareness of what is acceptable and what may be labelled greenwashing. These are sustainability credentials you’ve invested in and your customers are demanding, but you feel too exposed to promote them.
Why should we care about being environmentally friendly?
Sustainable practices benefit the environment, reduce pollution, and improve our quality of life. Consumers demand sustainable goods and hold businesses accountable for their values.
OUR SOLUTION
One that allows firms and retailers to confidently showcase their sustainable credentials and utilize their sustainability investments without fear of huge fines.
At Bureau Veritas we have created that solution. We have developed a package specifically to help retailers and brands COMPLY with legislation, COMPETE with other brands, and even LEAD in their marketplace – all by confidently using the claims from the sustainable services they have already invested in.
