1% for the Planet x Pet Sustainability Coalition: How to Align Your Giveback Program with the ECGT Directive
Selling pet products in the EU—or planning to? With the EU's Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition (ECGT) Directive taking effect this September, the way you communicate your sustainability commitments is changing. Whether you're leading marketing, CSR, or compliance, understanding the new rules is essential to protecting your brand, building consumer trust, and confidently promoting your environmental impact.
Join 1% for the Planet and Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC) for a practical, jargon-free discussion on what the ECGT Directive means for the pet industry. We'll unpack the key requirements, share best practices for compliant sustainability marketing, and explore how 1% for the Planet certification serves as a low-lift, effective compliance solution.
You'll also hear from PSC about how they help companies across the pet industry advance sustainability through collaboration, resources, and the continued evolution of their industry-leading accreditation program.
