Restricted claim
“In harmony with nature”
Is “In harmony with nature” allowed under the EU Green Claims Directive (2024/825)?
High-risk claim Generic environmental
Why it is restricted
Harmony and respect are not measurable properties. The claim reads as an environmental benefit while committing to nothing a buyer or an authority could check. “Please respect nature and stay on the path” is an instruction to a visitor, not a claim about a product, so the bare verb is not flagged.
Say this instead
Replace with the practice you can evidence: the standard you farm to, the certification, or the measured effect on a named indicator.
