EU begins action against 20 airlines over greenwashing claims

The European Commission and EU consumer protection authorities have contacted 20 airlines regarding potentially misleading environmental claims, the EU announced this week.

The action follows concerns raised by European consumer organization BEUC and was led by watchdogs in Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain, but the 20 airlines were not identified in a statement published earlier this week.

The investigation is focusing on “claims made by the airlines that the CO2 emissions caused by a flight could be offset by climate projects or through the use of sustainable fuels, to which the consumers could contribute by paying additional fees.”
