UK fashion retailers ASOS, Boohoo, and Asda have been targeted by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in a crackdown on greenwashing. The regulator's action comes after accusations that the companies made misleading green claims about their products. The CMA's investigation has led to the retailers being forced to clarify their environmental credentials. This move is part of a broader effort to ensure that companies' sustainability claims are accurate and not misleading to consumers. Meanwhile, Shein's revenue has reached $32B, marking a tenfold increase from four years ago, highlighting the rapid growth of fast fashion. The issue of greenwashing has become increasingly prominent as consumers demand more environmentally friendly products and transparency from brands.
