Even more thought leadership content this week, now from Deepki sharing an article on ‘Greenwashing in ESG reporting’ and a deep-dive into ‘Carbon Accounting’ - vitally important subjects given the ever-growing focus on ESG and sustainability in real estate.

  • The PwC’s Global Investor Survey 2023 revealed high investor scepticism towards corporate sustainability reporting, reports Deepki, emphasising the need to combat greenwashing. Greenwashing involves misleading claims about sustainability, which erode trust and distort market information. Related issues include greenhushing (underreporting progress) and greenwishing (setting unrealistic goals).?

Deepki emphasises the importance of high-quality ESG data in mitigating greenwashing risks and enhancing transparency in sustainability reporting, as well as advocating for robust data collection, management, and traceability processes to ensure the accuracy and reliability of sustainability claims.
