Greenwash is now being defined as a key business risk. HSBC Bank has added?`greenwashing’ to its list of risks as global regulators move to clamp down on overhyped climate claims.
I've personally been waving the greenwash warning banner with our clients and partners for years. We've helped many organisations to step away from unscientific net-zero and other unverifiable green claims to ensure they're future-proofed against scrutiny by authorities such as the ASA and CMA - and against associated reputational risk.
Are you worried that your organisation's green targets and claims don't stand out as bold or ambitious amongst your peers? Worry instead about whether they're too?bold, unscientific, or unverifiable.?
If you'd like some help ensuring that your climate and environmental strategies and claims are based on science, please do get in touch.?
We are very proud of Client Earth, who are in the process of?taking Shell's Board of Directors to court for failing to transition?away from fossil fuels fast enough. Could this be the real green?revolution we need? I'd love to know what you think.?
Thank you for your interest in these?updates and hope you enjoy what we have selected for you below.?
