This conference provides practical guidance on green claims and sustainability labelling in Europe after the implementation of EmpCo. Learn about enforcement trends, national implementation, landmark cases, sustainability labels and compliance strategies for food and packaging businesses.
Since September 2026, the Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive (EmpCo) has been applicable across Europe, fundamentally changing the rules for environmental claims, climate-neutrality statements and sustainability labels. At the same time, the withdrawal of the Green Claims Directive proposal has created uncertainty about the future regulatory landscape.
Companies must now navigate new national implementation measures, increasing enforcement activity, growing litigation risks and evolving guidance from authorities.
At the Online Conference, leading legal and industry experts will explain how authorities and courts assess environmental claims in practice and what businesses need to do to remain compliant in the new enforcement environment.
Groups that should take part:
Regulatory, marketing, scientific and legal professionals throughout the food supply chain who want to stay up-to-date on the latest developments impacting the food and food-contact industry in Europe.
Sectors that should take part:
Food and drink industry, food trade, packaging industry, food inspection offices, laboratories, professional associations
