Question

 

Mr Christopher de Souza: To ask the Minister for Trade and Industry what steps will the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore take to provide companies with clear guidelines on how to market their products so as to avoid unintentional greenwashing and unfair practices.


Written Answer by Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong


1. The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) is currently developing a set of guidelines to help companies make fair and accurate claims about the “green” credentials of their products. These guidelines will help companies to avoid unintentional greenwashing that could amount to unfair practices under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. CCCS will seek public feedback on the guidelines in due course.
