WHAT’S THE ISSUE?

MSC CertificationHagens Berman has filed a class-action lawsuit alleging greenwashing by Amazon based on the true sustainability and environmental impact of fish products it sells bearing the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Certification. According to recent reports, Amazon’s use of this certification misleads consumers. Certified companies or their suppliers’ practices are not truly sustainable and allegedly harm the environment or protected species, according to news and a recent report. MSC has faced scrutiny for being a self-serving organization, and itself admits that greenwashing includes misleading or confusing claims. Amazon claims to recognize the importance of valid environmental claims or certifications on products sold on its website and yet allows what could be consumer-facing misinformation.
