Golden Vulture 2024: Duh reveals the thirdest environmental lies

Golden Vulture 2024: Duh reveals the thirdest environmental lies

The German Environmental Aid (DUH) has published a press release in which she calls up all consumers to coordinate for the "golden vulture" by June 9, 2024. The "golden vulture" is a abuse that is awarded to companies, specifying environmental friendliness, but actually sells environmentally harmful products. The nominees for the "Golden Geier" 2024 are Nestlé, DHL, Capri Sun GmbH and Avia. The DUH calls on the manufacturers to bring honest and ecological products to the market instead.

Barbara Metz, federal manager of the DUH, criticizes the consumer deception through greenwashing and emphasizes that these marketing strategies are unacceptable in times of economic difficulties and the progressive climate disaster. It encourages consumers to take part in the vote and to choose the three -best environmental lie of the year.

The nominees for the “Golden Vulture” 2024 are Nestlé, DHL, Capri Sun GmbH and Avia. Nestlé is criticized for its plastic packaging and especially for Nespresso's coffee capsules. DHL is denounced for his greenwashing with the "DHL Gogreen" service. Capri Sun GmbH is criticized for the fact that your drinking bags are made from new and not recycled material. And Avia is criticized for the application of "CO2-compensated heating oil", although this is still harmful to the climate.

The DUH awards the "golden vulture" for the fifth time. The winners of the past few years have been Nestlé, Daimler, RWE, Shell and McDonald’s.

Here you will find links to the pictures of the "Golden Geier" and the finalists for 2024 as well as further information and the vote.
