What does “nachhaltiges Siegel” mean?
A mark advertised as a sustainability label implies independent examination and confirmation of environmental or social standards. Under the EmpCo Directive permissibility turns largely on whether the label rests on a recognised certification scheme or an official basis; self-created labels or those without substantive verification can be misleading.
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.
