What this is about
Words like climate neutral, environmentally friendly, sustainable or CO₂ neutral appear on almost every corporate website. Since 27 September 2026, many of them are an unfair commercial practice that competitors and associations can act on, however well intended the claim was.
The sensitive cases are generic environmental claims without evidence, neutrality claims based on offsetting, forward-looking promises without a verifiable implementation plan, and labels with no certification scheme behind them. Most companies do not know how many of these claims are on their own website.
What we review
Your homepage and the relevant subpages, including labels, claims and image text.
What you receive

Company, website and a business email address. That is all we need.

With a short read on what is urgent and what is not.
