On Thursday, a ruling from the German Federal Court of Justice is expected in the appeal proceedings regarding the term „carbon-neutral.“ The hearing for this case took place in April. The lawsuit was filed against the confectionery manufacturer Katjes, which had advertised its „Grün-Ohr-Hasen“ with the slogan: „Since 2021, Katjes has produced all products carbon-neutral.“ The court will now announce whether this was permissible. Katjes no longer uses this label in its advertising.
