Наричате продукта си „зелен“? Какво трябва да докажете според FTC, преди да го направите

Зелените насоки на FTC изискват компетентни и надеждни научни доказателства, преди да се направи екологично твърдение — неквалифицирано „рециклируемо“ изисква съоръжения, достъпни за поне 60% от потребителите, „биоразградимо“ изисква пълно разграждане в рамките на една година след обичайното изхвърляне, а калифорнийският AB 1305 добавя публична страница за оповестяване за твърдения за въглеродна неутралност с глоба до 2500 щатски долара на ден за нарушение.

Трябва ли вашият малък бизнес да стане сертифицирана B Corp през 2026 г.? Новите стандарти, реалните разходи и какво е нужно, за да преминете

От 11 март 2026 г. сертификацията B Corp вече не се основава на единна оценка от 80 точки — кандидатите трябва да покрият основните изисквания плюс независимо проверени прагове във всички седем теми за въздействие, без компенсиране между тях. Обхваща какво се промени, скалираните такси (от 1 000 до над 25 000 $ годишно, приблизително 2 000–2 100 $ за компания с 1–5 млн. $ приходи), 40–80 часа събиране на доказателства, които малкият бизнес трябва да предвиди, и как да структурирате сметкоплана си така, че верификацията да е въпрос на следобед, а не на съдебно счетоводство.
