“Environmentally correct”

Is “Environmentally correct” allowed under the EU Green Claims Directive (2024/825)?

High-risk claim Generic environmental

Why it is restricted

Claims conformity with an unstated environmental norm. There is no such general norm, so the claim cannot be tested.

Say this instead

Cite the actual standard you conform to and its scope.

In English

  • “keskkonnahoidlik”

Legal basis

Directive 2005/29/EC, Annex I point 4a, inserted by Directive 2024/825 (generic environmental claim)
