Response to Roadmap Environmental performance of products and businesses – substantiating claims
Eurima welcomes the Commission’s intention to harmonize and set a baseline for the substantiation of green claims for products and businesses. Our industry shares the concerns raised in the Roadmap regarding the detrimental impact of unsubstantiated green claims on consumers, both on B2B and B2C markets and on the internal market. We therefore support the objectives of the Circular Economy Action Plan in this regard as it will contribute to a fairer market and allow for a better valorization of the more sustainable products in the construction sector.

Why including buildings in the EU ETS is not the right tool to deliver energy-efficient homes
The European Commission is assessing whether to extend the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) to cover the emissions associated with the heating and cooling of buildings. This paper points out several reasons why this would not be the best approach to deliver a highly energy-efficient and decarbonised building stock by 2050.
