Outcome<\/strong>: JBS USA\u2019s Public Statements on Company\u2019s Efforts to Reduce Climate Change Pollution Emissions Were Unsubstantiated. An Office of the Attorney General (OAG) investigation revealed that it was advertising that the JBS Group would reach \u201cnet zero\u201d greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, despite having no plan to actually achieve it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequences<\/strong>. JBS USA will pay $1.1 million to support climate-smart agriculture programs that help New York farmers adopt best practices to reduce emissions, increase resiliency, and enhance productivity. JBS USA has also agreed to reform its environmental marketing practices and report annually to OAG for three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Court\/Institution<\/strong>: Paris District Court (France)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
cease the dissemination of the misleading communication,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
pay damages to compensate for the emotional distress suffered by the plaintiff associations (\u20ac8,000 for each association),<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Organization that filed the complaint<\/strong>: Italian Competition Authority (AGCM)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Court\/Institution<\/strong>: Council of State, Italy’s top administrative court<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Date<\/strong>: April 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Story<\/strong>: In January 2020, the Italian Competition Authority imposed a fine of 5 million euros on the company Eni S.p.A. for the dissemination of misleading advertising messages used in its sales promotion campaign for Eni Diesel+ fuel, both in relation to its assertion of the positive environmental impact associated with its use and to the alleged characteristics of the fuel in terms of consumption savings and reductions in gaseous emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But in April 2024, Italy’s highest administrative court definitively ruled that Eni had not implemented any unfair commercial practice to the detriment of consumers. The allegations previously made by the AGCM are unfounded, rejecting the principle that terms such as ‘green’ and similar cannot be associated with products that, by their very nature, have no ‘zero impact’ on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case still pending<\/strong> (as of March 2026, at the time of writing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following this alert, the Coca-Cola Company and Nestl\u00e9 Waters contacted the European Commission, and voluntarily engaged into dialogues<\/strong> with the CPC-network under the lead of the Swedish Consumer Agency and the Hungarian Competition Authority. They committed to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Add language that expressly excludes the cap and label (e.g.: \u2018This bottle is 100% recycled. Excluding cap and label.\u2019), in the same font size and directly adjacent to claims such as \u201cThis bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic\u201d or “This bottle is 100% recycled\u201d;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Refrain from using claims such as \u201cRecycle me again\u201d or \u201cLet\u2019s meet, again!\u201d as a call to action for bottle disposal. However, the companies may encourage disposal of empty bottles in an appropriate manner, including by calls for action such as \u2018recycle me\u2019;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Ensure that the overall impression of the label and the marketing is not misleading consumers regarding environmental benefits of the packaging;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Ensure that digital marketing campaigns on their respective websites and social media channels reflect the content of these commitments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
