The EU Directive “Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition” (EmpCo) will introduce stricter requirements for environmental and sustainability claims from 27 September 2026 onwards.
Sustainability-related statements will need to be specific, verifiable, and supported by evidence. Please find our press info here: https://natureplus.org/artikel-news/natureplus-pressemitteilung---empco-natureplus-gibt-orientierung.
The good news: the natureplus label is a robust basis for credible and EmpCo-compliant communication of building products.
Feedback over recent months have shown that many companies and organisations are actively assessing the implications of EmpCo for their marketing, products, and sustainability communication. We would therefore like to support you in navigating these new requirements and invite you to join our session:
