Restricted claim

“On track to net zero”

Is “On track to net zero” allowed under the EU Green Claims Directive (2024/825)?

High-risk claim Future performance

Why it is restricted

"On track" asserts verified progress against a plan. Without a published trajectory, interim targets and independent monitoring, there is nothing to be on track against.

Say this instead

"2030 target -50% scope 1-2 versus 2021. Currently at -23% (2025, assured by DNV)."

Legal basis

UCPD Article 6(2)(d) as inserted by Directive 2024/825 (future environmental performance)
