THE FIGHT AGAINST GREENWASHING: EU INITIATIVE ON SUBSTANTIATING GREEN CLAIMS

Year 2022, Issue: 124, 101 - 109, 28.04.2022

Abstract

Today threats arising from environmental problems bring about an increased sensitivity at the global level. In this period, where production, consumption, and investment decisions are reshaped in line with environmental sensitivities, the number and the variety of labels and reporting initiatives regarding the environmental performance of businesses and products have increased. There is also an observed increase in ‘greenwashing’ practices, where businesses deliberately give a deceptive impression about their environmental impacts or benefits. In line with its transition to a green and circular economy objective, The European Union (EU) has announced several interrelated initiatives under the European Green Deal and the 2020 Circular Economy Action Plan. The ‘Initiative on Substantiating Green Claims’ aims to ensure that information regarding the environmental performance of businesses and products are reliable, comparable, and verifiable across the EU, while it also aims to prevent deceptive claims. The latest development in this area has been the proposal to introduce new consumer rights and a ban on greenwashing in the new circular economy package announced by the Commission on 30 March 2022. At the national level, steps to be taken in an area where the parliaments, governments, public institutions, and supervisory and surveillance authorities must assume important responsibilities, will provide significant advantages for Turkey. These steps will contribute to sustaining competition in green trade and will also contribute to the achievement of the goal of green transformation. Examining the scope and possible effects of the initiative launched by the EU, this study evaluates the role of the fight against greenwashing, which will be strengthened by this initiative, in ensuring green transition and sustainability.

YEŞİL YIKAMA İLE MÜCADELE: AVRUPA BİRLİĞİ’NDE YEŞİL İDDİALARIN DOĞRULANMASI GİRİŞİMİ

Abstract

Günümüzde çevre sorunlarından kaynaklanan tehditler, küresel düzeyde artan bir duyarlılığı da beraberinde getirmektedir. Üretim, tüketim ve yatırım kararlarının çevre hassasiyetleri doğrultusunda yeniden şekillendiği bu dönemde, işletmelerin ve ürünlerin çevresel performansına ilişkin etiket ve raporlama girişimlerinin sayısı ve çeşitliliği artarken, işletmelerin kasıtlı olarak çevresel etkileri veya faydaları hakkında aldatıcı bir izlenim verdikleri ‘yeşil yıkama’ uygulamalarında da bir artış olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Yeşil ve döngüsel ekonomiye geçiş hedefi doğrultusunda Avrupa Yeşil Mutabakatı ve 2020 tarihli Döngüsel Ekonomi Eylem Planı altında birbiriyle bağlantılı pek çok girişimi başlatan Avrupa Birliği’nde (AB), Yeşil İddiaların Doğrulanması Girişimi ile işletmelerin ve
ürünlerin çevresel performansına ilişkin bilgilerin AB genelinde güvenilir, karşılaştırılabilir ve doğrulanabilir olması, yeşil yıkama ile mücadele edilmesi ve aldatıcı iddiaların önüne geçilmesi hedeflenmektedir. Bu alanda son gelişme ise, Komisyon tarafından 30 Mart 2022 tarihinde açıklanan yeni döngüsel ekonomi paketinde yeni tüketici haklarının getirilmesini ve yeşil yıkamanın yasaklanmasını öngören düzenleme önerisi olmuştur. Ulusal düzeyde de parlamentoların, hükümetlerin, kamu kurumları ile denetim ve gözetim otoritelerinin önemli sorumluluklar üstlenmesi gereken bir alanda atılacak adımların Türkiye için de önemli avantajlar sağlayacağı; yeşil ticarette rekabeti sürdürebilmesi ve yeşil dönüşüm hedefini gerçekleştirebilmesine katkı sağlayacağı açıktır. AB tarafından başlatılan girişimin kapsamını ve olası etkilerini inceleyen bu çalışma, temel olarak bu girişimle güçlenecek olan yeşil yıkama ile mücadelenin yeşil dönüşümü ve sürdürülebilirliği
sağlamada üstleneceği rolleri değerlendirmektedir.
