EU greenwashing directive forces stricter marketing rules
From 27 September 2026 Germany will implement the Third Amendment to the Unfair Competition Act (UWG) to transpose the EU "Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition" (EmpCo) directive. The change bans vague and unsubstantiated environmental claims in advertising and allows for substantial fines for unverifiable green promises. The rule compels marketing teams and the wider advertising value chain to review claims and documentation across campaigns and communications.
Green DOOH: The Future of Sustainable Advertising
ADZINE interviews Lukas Flöer about energy-efficient DOOH, arguing that sustainability is ongoing and real progress requires time beyond CO2 offsets. The discussion outlines a dynamic, data-driven approach to DOOH planning that adds environmental factors to traditional KPIs, with the aim of reducing emissions without compromising reach. European ESG definitions and Gen Z consumer expectations are pushing brands to reflect sustainability in messaging and supply chains. In practice, media planning shifts from fixed bookings to optimized timing and locations where green electricity is available; energy conditions become an add-on to standard KPIs. A Douglas campaign serves as a real-world example: tracking uses geo-location and energy-mix data, plus screen parameters to calculate consumption per impression; the model then selects lower-CO2 inventory within defined KPIs. The team builds its own interfaces to energy-mix data from public sources, and their in-house model is the core IP. The goal is for Green DOOH to become standard.
