Nike, Superdry and Lacoste face ad ban in UK over 'misleading' sustainability claims

Highlights

  • Three major fashion retailers used terms like 'sustainable' without providing evidence.
  • ASA rules environmental claims must be clear and supported by high level of substantiation.
  • Brands told to ensure future environmental claims are backed by proof.
Advertisements from Nike, Superdry and Lacoste have been banned in the UK for misleading consumers about the environmental sustainability of their products, the Advertising Standards Authority has ruled.

The watchdog found that paid-for Google advertisements run by all three retailers used terms such as "sustainable", "sustainable materials" and "sustainable style" without providing evidence to support their green claims.

Nike's advertisement, promoting tennis polo shirts, referred to "sustainable materials". The sportswear giant argued the promotion was "framed in general terms" and that consumers would understand it as referring to some, but not all, products offered.
