Companies are facing an increasing number of obligations in relation to environmental legislation. Complying with sustainability principles is no longer optional; it is becoming increasingly integrated into companies' compliance programs.
María José Rovira, a partner in the environmental department, comments on this regulatory avalanche in the Capital Radio podcast: “Companies do not have the capacity to do everything.”
Our lawyer also points out that environmental legislation is becoming increasingly cross-cutting: “it permeates all branches of law, all sectors, companies, commerce, education, radio... everything.”
Do these regulations affect Spanish companies? Rovira explains that they do: “Spain, like other European Union countries, has been transposing directives and imposing regulations.”
On the issue of excessive pro-environmental messaging, our expert highlights: “Greenwashing and environmental claims will have to have a scientific and technical basis. [...] The claim that my product is green will have to be proven.”
