The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has released a practical compliance guide (the Guidance) on environmental claims for fashion brands, drawing on the principles in its Green Claims Code (the Code). It has also encouraged 17 fashion brands to revisit their green claims in light of the Guidance. In their article, Nigel Parr, partner, Christopher Eberhardt, counsel, and Olivia Spong, associate, at Ashurst, set out the main insights from the Guidance and consider the potential consequences for businesses both inside and beyond the fashion industry, including effects on internal procedures and engagement across supply chains.
