"On September 29, 2025, the Ministry of the Environment will hold the first study meeting on the ideal approach to environmental labeling in Japan. The meeting aims to address growing domestic and international concerns about greenwashing and to explore ways for Japanese companies to provide accurate environmental information while promoting green products and contributing to a sustainable green economy. The study group will also consider revisions to the Environmental Labeling Guidelines to highlight points for avoiding greenwashing. The closed-door meeting will cover trends in environmental labeling, guideline updates, and other related topics. Although attendance is restricted due to confidential company information, all materials and meeting minutes will be made publicly available on the Ministry of the Environment website. "
