EU regulators announce Greenwashing investigation of 20 airlines

The European Commission and EU consumer authorities have sent letters to 20 airlines "identifying several types of potentially misleading environmental claims", focusing on "claims by airlines that CO2 emissions from flying could be offset by climate projects or the use of sustainable fuels". In particular, the authorities stressed that "airlines have yet to clarify whether such claims can be supported by reliable scientific evidence". (Jacob H. Hupart, more at lexology.com)
