I-EU ihlose ukuqeda ukushiswa luhlaza, lapho izinkampani zithi ziluhlaza kunalokho eziyikho, futhi zinikeze ulwazi olwengeziwe kubathengi ngokuqina kwemikhiqizo abayithengayo.
Ukuze ube ngcono vikela amalungelo abathengi, ikhuthaze izinqumo ezithinta imvelo futhi yakhe a ezomnotho eziyindilinga ephinda isebenzise futhi isebenzise kabusha izinto zokwakha, i European IPhalamende lisebenzela ukuvuselela imithetho ekhona mayelana nezinqubo zezohwebo kanye nokuvikelwa kwabathengi.
Ukwenqabela ukuwashwa okuluhlaza
Imvelo, i-eco, imvelo enobungani… Imikhiqizo eminingi inalawa malebula, kodwa ngokuvamile lezo zimangalo azifakazelwa. I-EU ifuna ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi lonke ulwazi ngomthelela womkhiqizo endaweni, ukuphila isikhathi eside, ukulungiseka, ukwakheka, ukukhiqizwa nokusetshenziswa kwesekelwa imithombo eqinisekisayo.
Yini i-greenwashing?
- Umkhuba wokunikeza umbono ongamanga womthelela wemvelo noma izinzuzo zomkhiqizo, ezingadukisa abathengi
Ukufeza lokho, i-EU izovimbela:
- izimangalo zemvelo ezijwayelekile emikhiqizweni ngaphandle kobufakazi
- uthi umkhiqizo unomthelela ongathathi hlangothi, oncishisiwe noma omuhle endaweni ezungezile ngoba umkhiqizi unciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi
- amalebula okusimama angasekelwe ezinhlelweni zesitifiketi esigunyaziwe noma asungulwe iziphathimandla zikahulumeni
Ukukhuthaza ukuqina kwemikhiqizo
IPhalamende lifuna ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi abathengi basazi ngokugcwele isikhathi sesiqinisekiso lapho abathengi bengacela ukulungiswa kwemikhiqizo enephutha ngezindleko zomthengisi. Ngaphansi komthetho we-EU, imikhiqizo inesiqinisekiso esincane seminyaka emibili. Imithetho ebuyekeziwe yokuvikela abathengi yethula ilebula entsha yemikhiqizo enesiqinisekiso esinwetshiwe.
I-EU izophinde ivimbele:
- izimpahla zokukhangisa ezinezici zokuklama ezinganciphisa ubude bokuphila bomkhiqizo
- ukwenza izimangalo zokuqina okungaqinisekisiwe ngokwesikhathi sokusetshenziswa noma ukuqina ngaphansi kwezimo ezijwayelekile
- ukwethula izimpahla njengezilungisekayo uma zingalungiseki
86% yabathengi be-EU bafuna ulwazi olungcono ngokuqina kwemikhiqizo
Ingemuva nezinyathelo ezilandelayo
Ngo-Mashi 2022, I-European Commission ihlongoze ukubuyekeza imithetho yabathengi be-EU ukusekela inguquko eluhlaza. NgoSepthemba 2023, IPhalamende kanye noMkhandlu bafinyelele isivumelwano sesikhashana emithethweni ebuyekeziwe.
Ama-MEP agunyaze isivumelwano ngoJanuwari 2024, kuyilapho uMkhandlu kufanele ukugunyaze nawo. Amazwe e-EU azoba nezinyanga ezingama-24 zokufaka isibuyekezo emthethweni wawo kazwelonke.
Yini enye eyenziwa yi-EU ukukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa okusimeme?
I-EU isebenza kwamanye amafayela ngenhloso yokuvikela abathengi kanye nokukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa okuzinzile:
- Izimangalo eziluhlaza: I-EU ifuna ukuthi izinkampani ziqinisekise izimangalo zemvelo ngokusebenzisa indlela evamile
- I-Ecodesign: i-EU ifuna ukwethula amazinga amancane ekuthuthukisweni komkhiqizo ukuze yenze cishe yonke imikhiqizo emakethe yayo isimeme, iqine futhi ivumelane nemvelo.
- Ilungelo lokulungisa: I-EU ifuna ukuqinisekisa ilungelo labathengi lokuthi imikhiqizo ilungiswe futhi ikhuthaze ukulungiswa phezu kokulahla nokuthenga imikhiqizo emisha.
