The Directive on Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition: Implementation in selected EU member states

The Directive on Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition aims to promote sustainable consumption by 

• tackling unfair commercial business practices such as greenwashing that prevent consumers from making sustainable consumption choices, and
• improving consumer information to enable sustainable transactional decisions. 

Companies should use the period for transposition into national laws to familiarise themselves with the new requirements and, if necessary and commercially viable, adapt their practices (read more in our detailed client alert).

Member states have to implement the Directive into national legislation by 27 March 2026. In this overview, we keep track of the implementation in selected EU member states of key relevance.
