Austrian Hub Monday Seminar on Greenwashing and the Austrian Unfair Competition Act

26.01.2026

The event will take place on 26 January 2026 (18:30 CET) online.

The Empowerment Directive brings with it a major reform of the Austrian Unfair Competition Act (UWG) in relation to environmental advertising. The presentation will outline the pitfalls of implementation, how Austrian law already covers environmental claims, and the current state of implementation in neighboring countries, which will be discussed in more detail in the subsequent discussion.

Speaker:

  • Erika Ummenberger-Zierler (Federal Ministry of Economy, Energy, and Tourism)
