What does “umweltsiegel” mean?
The term refers to a label meant to certify an environmental performance. If it is based on genuine, independent certification, its use is permissible; it becomes risky when the mark is self-awarded or used without recognised verification. What matters is whether a verifiable certification scheme stands behind the label.
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.
