In June 2025, the Canadian Competition Bureau finalized guidelines to enforce the 2024 federal ban on misleading environmental claims by businesses. The guidelines aim to prevent greenwashing, cautioning companies to verify and clearly substantiate any environmental claims made about their products. This enforcement follows the passage of legislation outlawing false assertions that products are environmentally friendly. The Competition Bureau emphasized transparency and accuracy in marketing to ensure consumer protection and compliance with the new regulations.
