Govt finalises draft guidelines to prevent greenwashing or false pro - green claims

India s consumer affairs ministry has published draft guidelines to prevent greenwashing or false pro-environmental claims being made by companies across its sectors, according to the Ministry of Consumer Affairs (MoD). Officials have told the BBC that they will issue a draft new rules for advertising and adverts. Butbbc BBC News Marathi (BBC News India) explains how the government is making environmental disclosures in their efforts to tackle greenwash and environmental concerns which appear to be spreading in the country. The government has finalised proposals to protect businesses from using vague terms such as cruelty-free or eco-friendly as part of an investigation into the environment threats that could have been made against the industry. Why is it necessary to stop these calls based on climate change, and how it is likely to make them accurately claimed by the company? They are among the firms whose advertisements are not allowed to advertise in public displays of goods and services including packaging, food and drinking products and products without properly disclose all material information when selling them, in order to reduce the risk of causing damage to environment and the health of the world? And why does it not be used by those who carry out such complaints? The BBC has learned that there is no evidence of greenwashing in some of its products or services.
