Royal Unibrew fined over greenwashing claims
Danish beverage company Royal Unibrew has agreed to pay a DKr4m ($617,000) fine for the misleading marketing of its Egekilde water. According to the Danish consumer ombudsman, Royal Unibrew's promotion of Egekilde water featured statements about CO₂ neutrality without stating on the packaging that the brand partly achieved this through climate compensation. As a result, the beverage manufacturer was reported to the consumer ombudsman for violating Danish marketing law in the period from 2022 to 2024. According to local reports, it is the largest fine imposed in Denmark for so-called greenwashing. Louise Palsten, the general manager for Royal Unibrew's business in Denmark, said 'We can confirm that we have received and paid a fine – and we naturally take that very seriously. 'We have achieved CO₂ neutrality through partial climate compensation but we acknowledge that our communication on this could have been clearer." Palsten said the product's packaging included a reference to the brewery's website, where you could find an explanation about the firm's climate compensation initiatives. She added: 'We regret this and take note of it. It has never been our intention to cause any confusion among consumers about our efforts to reduce Egekilde's climate footprint. "Before receiving the initial inquiry from the Danish Consumer Ombudsman, we had already begun phasing out the 'CO₂-neutral' label from Egekilde. As a result, this statement is no longer used on our products." Danish Consumer Ombudsman Torben Jensen added: 'If a product states that it is CO₂ neutral, it must be clear and obvious to consumers if the neutrality has been achieved through climate compensation.' 'If this information is not stated, the statement about CO₂ neutrality is already misleading for that reason and thus a violation of the [Danish] Marketing Act.'

Q1 2025 Trading Statement
COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT NO 23/2025 - April 29, 2025 Start of 2025 in line with our expectations: Volume and net revenue on par with Q1 2024, despite Easter phasing from Q1 last year to Q2 this year and a sectoral strike in Finland. EBIT growth of 4%. EBIT margin expansion of 0.2 percentage points. EPS growth of 25%. The financial outlook for full-year 2025 is reiterated. Statement by Royal Unibrew's CEO, Lars Jensen: "We are pleased to report that the year has started in line with our expectations. Considering the subdued consumer confidence across our main markets, a full week of strike end March in Finland and the timing of Easter negatively impacting Q1, we are satisfied with our activity levels and financial performance. Our continued focus on operating efficiency is driving improvements in our EBIT margin, in line with our long-term ambitions". Outlook for 2025The financial outlook for full-year 2025 as stated in the Annual Report 2024 is reiterated. Net revenue growth is expected in the range of 5-7%. EBIT growth is expected in the range of 7-13% (DKK 2,100 – 2,225m). The guidance is based on a continued challenging consumer environment and high uncertainty; though not a deterioration from 2024. In recent months, macroeconomic uncertainty has increased following the announcements of trade tariffs by the US. While our direct exposure to US import/export is limited, the ripple effects on global economies and consumer sentiment are difficult to predict at this stage.
