Label & certification claim
B Corp
Dependiente del contextoAfirmaciones cuya admisibilidad depende en gran medida del contexto y de pruebas concretas.
What does “B Corp” mean?
B Corp refers to a certification intended to assess a company's social and environmental standards. With genuine, independent certification its use is permissible; it only becomes misleading when advertised without a valid certification or beyond the assessed scope. The term is therefore not impermissible as such, only when used without substantiation.
Why this term is risky
Claims that rely on a label or certificate are only as robust as the system behind them. Self-awarded or not independently verified “labels” carry a high risk of being misleading.
Legal basis
Anhang I Nr. 2a UGP-RL i.d.F. EmpCo (EU) 2024/825 (Nachhaltigkeitssiegel ohne anerkannte Zertifizierung)
The stated legal basis is an assessment, not a conclusively reviewed legal opinion and not individual legal advice.
