Changes to Canada’s anti-greenwashing laws, outlined in Bill C-15, have been welcomed by businesses but raise concerns among environmentalists. While businesses must still substantiate their environmental claims, they will no longer adhere to vague international standards, potentially undermining efforts to combat misleading green marketing.

Environmental groups emphasize the need for clear domestic guidelines for greenhouse gas emissions reporting to ensure accountability.
