Generic environmental claim
sozialverträglich
BewijsplichtigAlgemene milieu-uitspraken die alleen met erkend bewijs toelaatbaar zijn.
What does “sozialverträglich” mean?
The claim suggests that a product or process is compatible with fair social conditions along the supply chain. As a general claim it is only permitted under the EmpCo Directive with concrete, recognised and publicly accessible evidence. Without substantiated criteria and independent verification the assertion stays vague and can mislead.
Why this term is risky
Blanket, unspecific environmental claims without concrete, verifiable evidence are considered misleading where no recognised outstanding environmental performance is demonstrated. They remain permissible only with concrete, publicly accessible proof – such as a recognised certification.
Legal basis
Anhang I Nr. 4a UGP-RL i.d.F. EmpCo (EU) 2024/825 (allgemeine Umweltaussage) / § 5 UWG
The stated legal basis is an assessment, not a conclusively reviewed legal opinion and not individual legal advice.
