TRENDS IN ESG ADVERTISING CLAIMS: WHAT ADVERTISERS SHOULD EXPECT IN THE U.S. AND IN CROSS-BORDER CAMPAIGNS
With the anticipated revisions to the Federal Trade Commission’s Green Guides looming, along with their expected impact on the level of substantiation required of advertisers making ESG claims, the focus and scrutiny on environmental and sustainability marketing and advertising has only increased. In addition, the number of consumer class action lawsuits against marketers for their use of misleading ESG claims has reached an all-time high. This session will consider the forthcoming revisions to the Green Guides and their impact on U.S. advertising and cross-border campaigns, trends in consumer class action lawsuits, and the line between aspirational and actionable ESG claims.

CLAIM SUBSTANTIATION: COMMON ISSUES IN STUDY DESIGN THAT TRIP ADVERTISERS UP
Companies often rely on R&D and scientists to design studies that will support their advertising claims. But what happens when there is a disconnect between those studies and the legal standards? We review issues in study design that frequently arise when they are put to the test in a legal challenge, including for example when a control is and is not necessary, when bridging of study results is and is not acceptable, and the statistics behind properly substantiating equivalence claims and ratio claims.
