Create laws for what can/cant be classed as sustainable to prevent greenwashing

I would like the government to take action and design laws that lay out clear definitions for what can/cant be classed as sustainable that companies will have to meet before claiming to be sustainable. This is so that consumers can make informed choices when shopping and to prevent greenwashing.

Greenwashing is rife in brand campaigns, climate change is on a lot of peoples minds and consumers want to make choices when shopping that are better for the planet however when brands claim to be sustainable with no guidelines, rules or laws to regulate what can and cant be classed as sustainable they are misleading consumers with buzzwords.

The government should take the leading steps to create these laws so we can protect both the planet and consumers from making misinformed decisions.
