SUSTAINABILITY MARKETING

Ley's say, you're invested in sustainability, but you are unsure whether your green marketing claims are safe from scrutiny. In today's climate, green claims can be as risky as rewarding. Businesses that make false claims face fines, regulatory investigations and reputational damage that can be difficult to repair. 

At Tunley Environmental, our sustainability marketing and green claims compliance services protect your brand from the rising threat of greenwashing allegations and regulatory penalties.

WHAT SUSTAINABILITY MARKETING IS & WHY IT MATTERS

Responsible sustainability marketing is the practice of communicating your organisation's environmental and social achievements in a way that is truthful, evidence-based and compliant with regulatory standards such as the Competition Markets Authority (CMA) regulated Green Claims Code. It means your green claims are backed by verified data and presented transparently, so your audience cab trust your message.

It matters because consumers, investors and regulators are scrutinising sustainability claims like never before. In the UK, businesses that make misleading environmental claims may be subject to fines of up to 10% of their global turnover starting from the 6th April 2025. The CMA is authorised to issue these fines under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act (DMCCA) without the need for court proceedings. As a result, it is increasingly important for businesses to ensure the accuracy of their environmental claims.

WHAT YOU GAIN FROM OUR SUSTAINABILITY MARKETING SERVICE

Misleading green claims or unclear messaging can result in severe penalties, reputational damage and loss of trust among customers, investors and regulators. From 6th of April 2025, the UK Competition and Markets Authority can directly enforce consumer protection law and issue fines of up to 10% of global turnover, including misleading environmental claims (so-called 'greenwashing'). In 2025 alone, millions of pounds in fines have been issued globally for non-compliant green claims, proving that regulators are taking action and businesses can no longer afford to get it wrong. 

At the same time, organisations that communicate authentically can strengthen their brand, attract new customers and build long-term loyalty. Our approach ensures you achieve the latter without risking the former. Every piece of content we create is backed by verified data from your sustainability assessments, giving your stakeholders complete confidence in your message.

By working with Tunley Environmental, you’re marketing responsibly and protecting your brand against evolving green claims compliance regulations in the UK, EU, and beyond. With our sustainable brand marketing expertise, you’ll gain clear, compliant, and compelling messaging that differentiates your business, supports ESG goals and protects your reputation.
