Greenwashing? The BGH rules on advertising using terms like “climate-neutral”

The Federal Court of Justice’s decision on ambiguous terms related to the environment (specifically, the case was about using “climate neutral” in relation to confectionery, but it also applies generally to terms like “carbon-neutral”, “greenhouse gas neutral”, “environmentally friendly”, etc.) set strict standards on environmentally related advertising.

They can also receive bad publicity for greenwashing.
