The Tasmanian Climate Collective’s submission broadly supports the ACCC draft guidance on environmental and sustainability claims, while calling for stronger safeguards around third-party environmental certification. It recommends clearer requirements for certifier independence, measures to prevent conflicts of interest and fraudulent certification providers, and a centralised ACCC database of approved certification bodies. The submission argues that these measures would strengthen consumer confidence, protect the integrity of environmental claims and help prevent greenwashing and exploitation of regulatory loopholes.
