Commodities in Focus Weekly - Investigation into potential greenwashing by 20 airlines – a growing trend?

The European Commission has recently announced that it and the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network (the "CPC Network") had sent letters to 20 airlines concerning a variety of "potentially misleading green claims and inviting them to bring their practices in line with EU consumer law within 30 days". In this week's edition of CIF Weekly, we discuss what those claims were, what actions the airlines now have to take and how participants in other transport classes can avoid a similar investigation, given the current scrutiny on emissions and carbon reduction.
