As the FTC ramps up its enforcement efforts for green marketing violations, it is crucial for companies to take a step back and assess these initiatives.

On May 24, 2011, Chris Cole, a partner in Manatt’s Green Marketing practice group, will take the stage at American Conference Institute’s Green Marketing Compliance Summit to explore “Avoiding Compliance Errors, Penalties, and Lawsuits: Substantiating Green Marketing Claims in a Precise Yet Cost-Effective Manner.” He will provide insight on building a compliant green marketing program, mitigating the risk of competitor suits through claim substantiation transparency and determining when it is beneficial to challenge testing results. Chris will also outline cost-effective methods to disprove claims.
