The problem is widespread, with research conducted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/competition-and-markets-authority\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Competition and Marketing Authority (CMA)<\/a> finding that up to 40% of environmental claims made online in 2021 could be misleading.  <\/p>\n<p>The construction industry accounts for approximately 40% of the United Kingdom&#8217;s total carbon footprint in 2021, and the rise of greenwashing has undoubtedly hindered the transition toward a truly sustainable built environment. On occasion, both clients and homeowners have been subject to poor communication standards within the sector and, in simple terms, misleading environmental claims are obstructing the dissemination of critical information needed to help us build more sustainably. <\/p>\n<p>This is why a campaign promoting more responsible marketing practices is so important for the industry, and why any contractor, product manufacturer, architect, trade association, merchant, distributor, property developer, homebuilder, educational institution, or any other type of organization operating in the industry is encouraged to sign the Charter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"subtitle\">What Are the Standards to Be Met?<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3723 size-full\" title=\"the anti-greenwash charter slow studio standards transparency accountability\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slowstudio.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/the-anti-greenwash-charter-slow-studio-transparency-accoutability.jpg\" alt=\"the anti-greenwash charter slow studio standards transparency accountability\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slowstudio.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/the-anti-greenwash-charter-slow-studio-transparency-accoutability.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slowstudio.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/the-anti-greenwash-charter-slow-studio-transparency-accoutability-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.slowstudio.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/the-anti-greenwash-charter-slow-studio-transparency-accoutability-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.slowstudio.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/the-anti-greenwash-charter-slow-studio-transparency-accoutability-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"small-title\">1.
