Only for climate‐harmful products we found that climate‐neutral labeling alters product perceptions and purchase propensity (while not for climate‐friendly products). For climate‐harmful products, a climate‐neutral label leads consumers to value the objective contribution to climate protection associated with the label but also evokes various biased inferences (i.e., the product is perceived to [1] be less resource intensive, [2] use fewer chemicals and pesticides during agricultural production, and [3] be superior regarding ethical product benefits like fair trade and animal welfare). We also found that a more transparent labeling practice, which provides additional information of the label scope, reduces the biased inferences (1–2) or even avoids them (3). 10.1002/bse.3713 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ |
