It has now opened a formal investigation into concerns that Unilever may be overstating how green certain products are through the use of \u201cvague and broad claims\u201d, unclear statements around recyclability, and \u201cnatural\u201d looking images and logos.<\/p>\n<p>The UK Watchdog has highlighted its concerns that certain \u201cgreen claims\u201d, particularly about recyclability, may be unclear, as Unilever fail to specify whether they relate to all or part of a product, or packaging. In January this year, the CMA expanded its work on environmental claims to include fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). FMCG are essential items that people use daily and are repurchased regularly, such as food and drink, cleaning products, toiletries, and personal care items.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding certain Unilever products, the CMA\u2019s concerns included whether certain statements and language used by Unilever appear vague and broad and may mislead shoppers regarding the environmental impact of those products.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.circularonline.co.uk\/news\/unilever-investigated-by-uk-watchdog-over-greenwashing-claims\/\">Circular Online<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-446\/\">Unilever investigated by UK Watchdog over greenwashing claims<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4615,575,1325,2537],"class_list":["post-119424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cma","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-greenwashing","tag-unilever"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119424"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119424\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
