This demand exists for sustainable and ethical production so the EU Green Claims Directive is active from March 2026. The directive seeks to avoid companies making vague or unverifiable green claims via requirements. The requirements are clear definitions and substantiation for the claims. Certified organic materials are in common use by German luxury brands. They use low-impact dyes. They use carbon-neutral production. They use cradle-to-cradle design. They use blockchain toward increased product traceability. These brands aim to appeal toward buyers that value sustainability.

Digitalization and omnichannel change the experience of consumers. The e-commerce market in Germany, for example, is projected to reach USD 6,107 Billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 19.8%.
