EmpCo: Where bluepass stands

What EmpCo means for your bluepass labels.

The EU Empowering Consumers Directive (EmpCo) is now in force. It sets stricter rules on environmental claims, and new requirements for the certification schemes behind sustainability labels.

bluepass meets those requirements, and nothing changes for bluesign System Partner companies. In this session, Chu Wong set out why, and what it means for your own claims.

What the session covered:

  1. An overview of the EU EmpCo Directive and what it prohibits
  2. How bluepass and the bluesign System meet the EmpCo requirements for certification schemes
  3. What happens to product already in the market, including anything carrying bluesign® PRODUCT
  4. Questions from attendees, answered live

We have also set out in full how bluepass meets each of the seven requirements.
