Podcasts about clean diesel

Behind every "planet-positive" product wrapped in plastic lies the fascinating paradox of greenwashing—where marketing promises grow faster than bamboo but stand on foundations about as sturdy as a soggy paper straw. Welcome to the messy jungle of environmental branding, where not everything labeled clean actually is.Greenwashing represents the dangerous intersection where trademark law meets environmental claims. Companies build entire brand identities around sustainability without the substance to back them up. However, regulators worldwide are fighting back. The FTC's Green Guides in the US, the EU's Green Claims Directive, and similar regulations globally are creating serious consequences for hollow eco-promises.The casualties of this crackdown are numerous and notable. Volkswagen's "Clean Diesel" campaign resulted in $30 billion in fines when emissions-cheating devices were discovered. H&M's "Conscious Collection" faced lawsuits for being mostly fast fashion with minimal sustainable materials. Coca-Cola promotes recycling while consistently ranking as the world's top plastic polluter. Even financial giants like Goldman Sachs have paid millions for overstating the sustainability of their ESG funds.The distinction between legitimate certification marks (like Forest Stewardship Council or Energy Star) and self-created eco-labels has become a crucial battleground. When SC Johnson invented its own "GreenList" logo, consumers assumed third-party verification that didn't exist. The resulting lawsuit demonstrates how sustainability can't be fabricated through clever branding alone.For those navigating these green waters, specificity and transparency offer the safest passage. Vague terms like "eco-friendly" invite scrutiny, while precise statements backed by evidence build lasting trust. As trademark lawyers, marketers and entrepreneurs, our challenge is clear: align intellectual property with genuine sustainability, not just environmental aesthetics.Ready to sharpen your eco-radar and spot corporate green shenanigans?

Guest post by Nora Lawton, Director and Head of Client Services at Springboard Communications In recent years, marketplace realities have transformed, with sustainability driving the agenda now. Businesses must embrace new reporting obligations under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), highlighted as a game changer by Davy's 2024 insights. The EU Council's consensus on the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDD) also signals a pivotal step in enforcing environmental responsibility. These ground-breaking directives signify compliance and commitments for companies and their suppliers. It's essential to recognise that this will impact every business sector, irrespective of size or scale. This is a new era of corporate responsibility, where sustainability is not just an option but an obligation. The direction of travel towards a green economy is loud and clear and we all need to get on board. The Fear of Greenwashing & The Emergence of Green Hushing The fear of greenwashing looms large in the minds of businesses that want to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.Greenwashing (defined as the deceptive or exaggerated marketing of environmental credentials) poses a significant risk to companies' reputations and credibility. Many of us are aware of Volkswagen's "Clean Diesel" scandal, where the automotive giant falsely marketed its diesel vehicles as environmentally friendly. This scandal not only damaged Volkswagen's reputation but also highlighted the consequences of greenwashing in the corporate world. Many organisations are now hesitant to communicate their sustainability initiatives openly, fearing accusations of insincerity or dishonesty. Enter "green hushing". Driven by the pervasive fear of being stamped with the dreaded label of greenwashing, businesses are delicately balancing on the tightrope between transparency and the looming threat of reputational damage. This has been underscored by the latest insights from South Pole, a prominent authority on offsets, whose annual Net Zero Survey revealed the majority of companies are intentionally decreasing their climate communications. Navigating the Communication Conundrum For companies grappling with the tension between transparency and the fear of greenwashing, navigating the communication conundrum requires balance. The risk of greenwashing is real, yet silence or minimal disclosure is not the solution. Transparency - particularly with publicly stated commitments and demonstrable actions - is critical, as is the level of integrity with which the disclosure is made. Rather than shying away from communication, companies should embrace transparency as a means of fostering accountability and driving positive change. The Transparency Edge survey by Smurfit Kappa, in partnership with the Financial Times, found that 63% of businesses believe they have complete transparency on how and why sustainability decisions are made. The research highlighted the importance of transparency, underscoring how it is "central to building confidence among consumers, investors and critical stakeholders". Those businesses deemed to be 'Sustainability Leaders' - 11% believe they have a robust and actionable sustainability strategy - are "ahead of the pack" the 2023 report said when it comes to four key aspects of transparency: Ensuring alignment between sustainable action and ambition Measuring progress on net zero initiatives Communicating effectively to build trust Independent assurance of sustainability performance Organisations must adopt a proactive and authentic approach to sustainability communications, grounded in transparency,credibility, and accountability. This entails openly sharing information about sustainability practices, goals, challenges, and progress, even when the narrative is not entirely favourable. The recent launch of Siemens EcoTech exemplifies the power of transparency in sustainability communication. Siemens'innovative product lab...

The soybean industry is well-positioned to meet the growing need for renewable green energy sources.

“Diesel's here to stay, there's no question about it now that diesel's gotten so clean,” says Clint Cannon, and he would know. Willie and Kevin welcome the President of ATS Diesel Performance to the podcast to dissect the popular misconception that EPA-mandated emissions technology is somehow killing performance, instead making the case that OE trucks delivering 500+ hp and 1000+ lb-ft of torque is a clear indication that one is not at the expense of the other.

This week, Daniel Howes says this week’s criminal indictment of former Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn sends a powerful signal to automakers – and corporate bosses around the world. Scheming to evade the Clean Air Act and doing it with vehicles touted as “Clean Diesel” threatens a kind of official retribution that’s likely to keep on giving.

Here are tenight's topics for discussion: The Volkswagen Fraud: Let's face it. Diesel engines stink—literally. Why did Volkswagen take the risk? How  did they get away with it for so long? What deos the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) have to do with this?Hillary's Server: There is a lot of misinformation going around. What was Clinton's motivation for a "private" server? What is the difference between a private server and a private email address? What cyber attacks were used? What is the FBI investigation really looking for? What are the security implications? At this point, what can the FBI learn?The USA is a Third World Nation: Like the proverbial frog in a boiling pot, change—or lack of change—has happened so gradually that much has gone unnuticed. Nevertheless, we are becoming more and more like Obama's ideal country.Another Mass Shooting: It's too early to speculate about this one. Obama's reaction was predictable.RINOs: Will business as usual continue in Congress? Is it time for a government "shutdown?" Your opinion is welcome.

Well, due to the high volume of fun and the low volume of attention (thank you Valentine's Day), we lost the first 20 minutes of this show! However, we did some editing and broke it into separate podcasts and THIS one is our feature interview with John Voelcker of GreenCarReports.com. We talked about the latest clean diesel cars on the road and more about the Ford C-Max Energi.

New clean diesel engines offer better fuel economy and lower emissions than their gas counterparts, so why aren't they more popular in the U.S.? That's the topic on this edition of Autoline EXTRA. John and his guests discuss why there are not more diesels in the U.S. and whether or not something should be done to promote them. Joining in the discussion is Dan Weiss from the Center for American Progress, Fred Smith of the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Ron Cogan from Green Car Journal.

SIGN O’ THE TIMES - PART TWO Serendipity can strike with serendipity. Sometimes it occurs in music when the right album comes along at the right time and affects the industry as a whole with both high sales and critical praise. And then again, it can also occur in other industries, sometimes with deleterious effects. Take today's energy crisis for instance. With gasoline roller-coasting around $4 a gallon, automotive manufacturers have suddenly seen the Truck market "tank" this summer. So the OEMs have circled the SUVs so to speak, and have reforged the truck future. But as we're waiting for that future to take form, new product continues to hit dealer lots around the country. Trucks, SUVs and Crossovers of all types have been released in 2008. On this week's Autoline, John McElroy looks at some of these new vehicles like Ford's "Back to the Future" Flex Crossover, Mercedes’ new GL with its Clean Diesel technology, and Chrysler's Two-Mode Hybrid SUVs to see how they stack up when it comes to perhaps winning some "Best Of" awards later this year. Joining John to talk trucks are two of his fellow judges from the North American Car and Truck of the Year Awards. Natalie Neff is the Road Test Editor for AutoWeek while Mark Phelan is an automotive columnist with the Detroit Free Press. And if you don't want to wait until Sunday, remember you can now watch this new episode of Autoline immediately by visiting us at http://www.autoline.tv/ . There you can also view our Internet-only Autoline EXTRA segment as well as any of our archived shows.
