Evian sued over carbon-neutral claim

Summary

Lawsuit filed challenging Evian's carbon-neutral sustainability claim.

Score Rationale

High C-score (72) driven by bold carbon-neutral claim across entire product line with high unverifiability (lawsuit challenges validity). Moderate G-score (32) reflects consumer goods sector with disclosure gaps but no major regulatory violations. C-G gap of +40 indicates corporate claim dominates environmental reality. Intent score of 12 reflects carbon-neutral claims being inherently difficult to verify, lack of third-party validation (implied by lawsuit), and use of absolute environmental language. Classification: List C (corporate greenwashing claim).
