1.1 The Case for Public Disclosure of Greenwashing Enforcement

Most marketplaces that take action against greenwashing do so silently. A listing disappears; a badge vanishes — but no public record explains why. Consumers who purchased the product before the removal receive no notification. Regulators have no public evidence of the platform's enforcement activity. Other vendors have no visible deterrent. And the broader market never learns that a specific type of sustainability claim was found to be false.

AqNova operates differently. This Greenwashing Enforcement Log is our commitment to radical transparency: every enforcement action we take against a vendor for sustainability misrepresentation is recorded here; publicly; with the nature of the violation; the action taken; and the outcome. We believe this transparency serves consumers; regulators; the market; and ultimately the cause of genuine sustainability.

1.2 What This Log Does and Does Not Establish

2.1 Log Entry Reference System

Every entry in this log carries a unique reference number in the format: AQN-GWL-YYYY-NNN. Where: AQN = AqNova Marketplace; GWL = Greenwashing Log; YYYY = the year the action was initiated; NNN = sequential number within the year (001; 002; etc.). Example: AQN-GWL-2026-004 is the fourth enforcement action initiated in 2026.

4.1 How to Check If a Product You Bought Is Affected

To determine if a product you purchased has been subject to enforcement action: (1) Find your order reference number in Account → Orders. (2) Visit aqnovamarketplace.com/enforcement/check and enter your order reference number. (3) The system will confirm whether any product in your order is the subject of a current or historical enforcement action; and whether consumer notifications were sent to your account.

4.2 Log Entry AQN-GWL-2026-004 — Full Summary (Level 4 Named Entry)

5.1 Enforcement Statistics — April 1 to June 18, 2026

5.2 Annual Sustainability Transparency Report Reference

AqNova publishes a comprehensive Annual Sustainability Transparency Report by March 31 of each calendar year covering the prior calendar year's enforcement activity. The Annual Report includes: full enforcement statistics; breakdown by violation category; product category; vendor geographic region; severity level; consumer impact; regulatory referrals; and AqNova's own sustainability performance metrics (carbon; packaging; DHL GoGreen). The first Annual Report will cover the period April 1, 2026 — December 31, 2026; published by March 31, 2027. Available at: aqnovamarketplace.com/sustainability/report.

6.1 Your Rights If a Product You Purchased Is Subject to Enforcement Action

If AqNova issues a consumer notification for a product you have purchased — because AqNova has found that the sustainability claim displayed when you purchased was false; misleading; or unverified — you have rights. These rights exist in addition to; and independently of; AqNova's enforcement action against the vendor. AqNova proactively notifies affected consumers; but if you believe you purchased a product subject to an enforcement action and have not received notification: contact rights@aqnovamarketplace.co.
