Podcasts about Greenwashing

Guest: Pamela James, CEO & Founder of Paloma St. JamesIt's no mystery that industrialization has a negative impact on the environment; however, an unexpected contributor is the fashion industry. Recent studies have shown that the production of textiles contributes nearly to 8-10% of global carbon emissions, superseding emissions from the aviation and shipping industries combined. Designer and CEO, Pamela James, joins us today to discuss her take on sustainable fashion and the concept of modularity. We're a society of mass production and overconsumption, but today you'll see that less really is more.

This week, our guest is Dr. Heather Exner-Pirot, a Senior Fellow and Director of Energy, Natural Resources and Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute in Ottawa, a Special Advisor to the Business Council of Canada, and a Research Advisor to the Indigenous Resource Network. Heather has twenty years of experience in Indigenous, Arctic and resource development and governance. She has published on Indigenous economic and resource development, energy security, and politics. Here are some of the questions that Peter and Jackie asked Heather: Does Canada have defense and security issues in the north? Politicians, including our Prime Minister, support Arctic export ports—do you expect to see new export corridors to the north? The Russians ship LNG from the Arctic, so why not Canada? What are your concerns about Prime Minister Mark Carney's climate policy, as outlined in his Liberal leadership and election platforms? What are the issues with Canada's greenwashing rules that were made law about one year ago? How would you recommend Canada move forward with speeding up the development of large projects—should the Impact Assessment Act (Bill C-69) be scrapped or just modified? What are the prospects for deploying small or micro nuclear reactors (SMRs) in the north? What does the future hold for Indigenous equity participation in major projects? Content referenced in this podcast:Northern Corridors: Hype or Hope?

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?

Agencies and green claims – Walking the talk or just talking? In our final episode of our four part mini-series on navigating green claims and greenwashing we speak to Adrian Ma, founder of Fanclub PR, about the role of agencies in green claims and the rise of purpose-led marketing. Adrian shares his insights from working with impact-driven brands such as Who Gives a Crap, Music Magpie, SMOL and many more, and dives into the challenges agencies face in balancing creativity with compliance. Adrian talks us through the journey Fanclub PR is on and notes the ‘purpose-led' space is gaining a lot of traction, but with a big question mark over the authenticity and ‘trends' many are jumping on. Adrian explains how at a recent roundtable event he attended, many introduced themselves as ‘purpose-led agencies', in addition to that, Meta descriptions of 450 agencies revealed the number one trend was all related to … you guessed it… purpose. However, as Adrian states, “there's a huge, huge disconnect here when it comes to awareness of green claims, I think the awareness is low and the trend is that most agency people are led by the clients (which is fine), but agencies have a duty of care to their own staff to make sure that they know stuff.” At Fanclub PR Adrian and his team work closely with organisations such as Clean Creatives (two-time guests on the podcast - EP 24 and EP 67), and Creatives for Climate, with whom they have helped create an agency guide to greenwashing to support knowledge, education and awareness. (Linked below). On greenwashing vs. greenhushing, Adrian believes, "good creative agencies should help brands be transparent, giving them the confidence to talk about what they're doing”. We discuss the importance of good communication, something we are very passionate about at Can Marketing Save the Planet, given effective communication is critical to driving engagement and change, both internally and externally. Adrian agrees that communication cannot be underestimated as part of the green claims process, telling us “that process of interrogation is only going to make the work stronger”. As well as good communication we also touch on the future of marketing where Adrian is a firm believer in, "if brands stay consistent with their commitments year after year, they build communities, confidence, and leadership—that's where real change happens."  Tune in as we talk to Adrian about: The need for agencies to educate their teams on greenwashing to ensure compliance and ethical, authentic storytelling. How transparency beats perfection and how brands should be sharing both successes and challenges to build trust. The disconnect between sustainability teams (focused on data) and agencies (focused on messaging) and the need for collaboration to bridge that gap. How consistency builds impact and creates deeper engagement than those jumping between campaigns. Why good communication is critical both internally and externally and the need to challenge will only make the work stronger.

“If used in the right way, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has an incredible potential to help detect, prevent, and deter greenwashing”.  The practice of greenwashing has affected the ability of consumers and investors to determine whether the products and companies which they support are indeed environmentally sound. With the evolution and accessibility of AI, it is a question whether how can this technology be an effective tool in detecting greenwashing claims made by corporations.  In this episode, which was produced by qLegal for the TMT Institute, we are joined by Mr. Shashwat Patel. Shashwat is a tri-qualified senior lawyer with over 15 years of experience specializing in corporate and AI transactions. In our conversation, Shashwat discusses the recent breakthroughs and trends in AI, as well as the potential and challenges of using the said innovation in checking environmental and sustainability claims.

Millionen Tonnen Müll schwimmen in den Weltmeeren. Abhilfe schaffen soll der globale Handel mit Plastic Credits. Unternehmen können Gutschriften kaufen, für die dann Müll eingesammelt wird. Kritiker warnen vor Greenwashing ohne Kontrolle. Scherer, Katja www.deutschlandfunk.de, Hintergrund

Louise ne croit ni au capitalisme, ni à la croissance verte. Elle a accepté le challenge proposé par son éditeur et elle est partie à la rencontre de dirigeants qui veulent réconcilier leurs entreprises avec le vivant. Les six chefs d'entreprise qu'elle nous présente sont engagés dans la Convention des Entreprises pour le Climat. La CEC (Convention des Entreprises pour le Climat) regroupe 1250 entreprises pour 120 milliards d'euros de chiffre d'affaires. Créée en 2020, elle souhaite rendre irrésistible la bascule vers l'économie régénérative.La philosophe et sociologue Dominique Méda a dit de ce livre : "Une lueur d'espoir dans une époque qui en manque". Louise Browaeys a déjà publié des romans et essais, notamment La Dislocation en 2020, puis La Reverdie en 2023. De formation agronome, elle anime en entreprise des formations à la permaculture et elle est mère de deux enfants. Le mot de l'éditeurQuand j'ai rencontré Eric Duverger, le fondateur de la Convention des Entreprises pour le Climat, j'ai été impressionné par son ambition. Il avait l'air d'y croire, nous nous sommes revus plusieurs fois, mais quelque chose me gênait. Je n'arrivais pas à comprendre comment des entreprises centenaires comme Renault Trucks, qui vend des camions, pouvaient devenir régénératives. Je lui ai proposé d'accueillir une autrice pendant 6 mois, qui irait rencontrer les entrepreneurs engagés dans leur transformation, leurs équipes, actionnaires, à la recherche de voix différentes du parfaite, sceptique au départ, mais curieuse de mieux comprendre, et capable de nous emporter par son écriture. Le projet était risqué, Louise avait carte blanche, et personne ne savait où on allait. Par chance, le projet a réveillé quelque chose de personnel, et la relation à son père est devenue le fil directeur. Le résultat m'a donné des frissons. Je pense n'avoir jamais lu un texte aussi captivant sur l'entreprise. J'espère qu'il vous plaira, qu'il vous donnera une occasion de garder l'espoir, et de mieux comprendre notre rôle à tous dans la transformation vitale en cours. Avec une postface d'Eric Duverger, fondateur de la CEC (Convention des Entreprises pour le Climat)Comment détourner un banc de poissons - Enquête sur un mouvement qui nous réconcilie avec le vivant de Louise Browaeys - Éditions L'arbre qui marcheAcheter le livre sur les site des libraires indépendants Les libraireshttps://www.leslibraires.fr/livre/24303496-comment-detourner-un-banc-de-poissons-louise-browaeys-arbre-marche

In this episode of the Can Marketing Save the Planet? podcast, we continue on our navigating green claims and greenwashing mini-series speaking with Katie Wetherall, a lawyer at ClientEarth about the brilliant work they do and taking a deep dive into the world of plastics, packaging and recycling. It's no secret that marketing tactics in this area are long overdue a review. Clever marketing can mislead consumers with what are essentially false sustainability claims - particularly, when one takes into account the bigger picture and lifecycle of the product they appear on. Katie shares with us her insights from legal actions ClientEarth has taken against major corporations such as BP, Total Energies and KLM for misleading claims. In the case of KLM, she explains, “the Dutch court ruled that their claims about the sustainability of flying were misleading and in fact the judge said they painted a far too rosier picture about these kind of high emission activities and the company's compliance with things like the Paris Agreement.” A lot of Katie's work focuses on greenwashing legal actions and increasingly the area of plastics and consumer goods. The reality of plastic recycling is woeful, Katie shares, “only 9% of all plastic ever produced has been recycled, yet companies continue to label products as "100% recyclable, and even in the UK which has got quite an established sophisticated waste management system the stats hover at around 55%. So I think as an organisation, we argue that that green loop, (sometimes it's a triangle), but that circular symbol, gives a misleading impression of the circularity of plastic.” We go on to talk about the many different challenges of single use plastic; packaging, descriptors and labelling which we see everywhere on products across our everyday lives. Using green symbols and imagery is an area that Katie advises, “I would discourage Marketers from putting the recyclability of a product at the forefront of its marketing, because this is a process they have no control over and which statistics suggest does not work.” There is a lot of great insight and advice shared in this episode which will apply to a lot of organisations, Marketers and products. Tune in as we talk to Katie about: The problem with recycling symbols and should they even be allowed when they don't guarantee recyclability? The need for Marketers to consider the green claims they are making across the lifecycle of their products. The need to prioritise transparency Shifting to reusable packaging models – not relying on broken recycling systems Supporting people to make informed decisions How greenhushing doesn't solve the problem   For more information about ClientEarth and the great work they do - visit https://www.clientearth.org/ And, if you're looking to upskill your team with the green claims landscape - be sure to check out our 3 hour Greenwashing 101 short training course via our Sustainable Marketing Training Hub.

Heute sprechen wir über ein brisantes Thema: Nachhaltigkeitsfonds und fossile Energien. Eine neue Studie zeigt, dass jeder dritte ESG-Fonds weiterhin in Kohle, Öl oder Gas investiert. Wie viel Greenwashing steckt dahinter? „Diese ESG-Fonds bewerten auch soziale und unternehmerische Aspekte. Viele Fonds argumentieren, dass sie die Unternehmen in ihrer Transformation begleiten. Es ist ein schmaler Grat. Viele Unternehmen wollen sich schöner machen für Anleger. Ein Beispiel ist die DWS, die angeblich in den USA falsche Angaben gemacht hat. Bald kommen aber strengere Kriterien und viele Fonds müssen sich dann wohl umbenennen“, sagt Manuel Koch (Chefredakteur von Inside Wirtschaft).

Navigating Nonprofit Challenges: Political Pressures, Greenwashing, and AI Innovations In the latest episode of Nonprofit Newsfeed by Whole Whale, hosts George and Nick delve into pressing issues affecting the nonprofit sector, from political pressures to environmental challenges and technological advancements. Key Topics and Insights: Political Attacks on Nonprofits: The episode highlights the increasing political pressures faced by nonprofits, particularly those involved in contentious issues like immigration. A recent New York Times story is cited, where Judge James Boasberg's daughter, involved with a nonprofit, faced online harassment due to her work.

In this episode, the second of our greenwashing mini-series we chat to Guy Parker, Chief Executive of the UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), about green claims and the role of responsible advertising in sustainability. Guy explains that the ASA's mission is to, “make sure that ads are legal, decent, honest and truthful. We care about ads not misleading people, not harming them, not offending them and being socially responsible.” Guy highlights that with rising concerns about climate change, the ASA is focused on environmental claims balancing the need for businesses to communicate sustainability efforts without misleading consumers. We discuss the line between greenwashing (exaggerated or false claims) and greenhushing (staying silent due to fear of backlash), and how Marketers can absolutely tread the middle ground between the two. Guy emphasises how businesses should communicate sustainability progress— modestly and precisely, “being a bit more modest in the claims and being a bit more kind of real world in terms of what this means for your customers and your prospective customers, can actually go a very long way.” Focus should be on tangible, near-term actions rather than distant net-zero targets. Most greenwashing isn't intentional - it stems from lack of education and understanding. Guy points out that Marketers must know the rules and follow the guidance, (ASA's codes, CMA's Green Claims Code), collaborate cross-functionally with sustainability teams to ensure accuracy and make use of the breadth of ASA resources (rulings, guidance, and free training), to avoid pitfalls. There is information and knowledge out there for everyone and it's all very accessible. Guy's message is clear, businesses must keep talking about sustainability, but do so, responsibly. Tune in as we talk to Guy about: The green claims and advertising landscape. The need for organisations to be transparent and share their sustainability journeys. Why less is more when it comes to green claims - specific, evidence-backed claims are safer. Keep communicating, silence helps no one - we need to talk about it to drive change. Where greenwashing complaints can come from and, how to make a complaint. Why strategies and processes are needed. What resources and guidance are available to support Marketers and organisations considering making green claims.   For resources check out the ASA's CAP Advertising Guidance, their training and their recent rulings - all of which can be found here. And, if you're looking to upskill your team with the green claims landscape - be sure to check out our 3 hour Greenwashing 101 short training course via our Sustainable Marketing Training Hub.

Chris Britt-Searle is a passionate volunteer with The Next Test. This UK-based nonprofit is becoming a vital hub for players, clubs, and fans committed to addressing the environmental challenges facing cricket.In this thought-provoking discussion, Chris shares the story behind The Next Test and offers insights into the organisation's role in uniting the cricketing community to confront ecological issues. We examine the current status of cricket in the face of climate change and explore how players, sports organisations, and governing bodies contribute to helping (or hindering) sustainable change. Our conversation also touches on the complexities of partnerships with environmental activist groups, the challenges posed by high-carbon sponsorships, and the broader implications of ecological uncertainty on the growth and development of cricket worldwide.This episode goes beyond the boundaries (all puns intended) of the game, challenging assumptions and offering a look at cricket's potential to lead in the fight against climate change. Whether you are a player, fan, or simply curious about the intersection of sports and sustainability, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.This episode was recorded in November 2024.Support the showPlease feel free to reach out to the show onWeb: sustainingsport.comInstagram: @sustainingsportLinkedin: /sustaining-sportFacebook: @sustainingsportTwitter: @SustainSportPodNow on Bluesky /sustainingsport.bsky.socialor contact us at: benmole@sustainingsport.com

Hintergrund: Die Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) hatte gegen irreführende Aussagen geklagt – mit Erfolg. Besonders betroffen sind Formulierungen zur “Klimaneutralität durch SAF oder Klimaschutzprojekte”. Das Gericht kritisierte, Kunden würden in die Irre geführt, was die tatsächliche Wirkung ihrer Zahlungen betrifft. Lufthansa will das Urteil prüfen.

In our 100th episode of Can Marketing Save the Planet we kick off our ‘4 part mini-series on greenwashing and navigating green claims' with Cecilia Parker-Aranha, Director of Consumer Protection at the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Cecilia joined us back in 2021, and so it was great to have her join us again to discuss the evolving landscape to provide an up to date understanding of where we are with greenwashing. Since the publication of the Green Claims Code in 2021 significant progress has been made however, challenges remain. Cecilia tells us that since we last spoke, the CMA has taken action against misleading claims in sectors like fashion and fast-moving consumer goods prompting businesses to reassess their environmental messaging. She highlights how technology can be used to aid businesses in tracking supply chain data, but the human part remains crucial to ensure claims are accurate and not misleading. We discuss how consumers are increasingly distrustful of green claims and how now is the time for organisations to focus on making sure what they are saying is accurate and evidence-based. Cecilia again explains that the CMA's role is not to punish but to guide organisations toward compliance through education and support. However, under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act, everyone needs to be aware that the CMA can now impose fines directly and these can be up to 10% of global turnover for breaches and - breaches including misleading green claims. Cecilia explains, “so from April this year (2025), we'll have the power to reach our own decisions on whether or not a business has breached consumer law. The second thing is that at the moment there aren't any financial penalties for breaches of consumer law, at least those pursued through the civil route. Again, from April this year, it will be possible for the CMA to impose financial penalties on businesses who break the law.” Cecilia stresses the importance of collaboration between marketing and sustainability teams to ensure there is clear, accurate communication. She recommends that Marketers test claims with consumers to avoid misinterpretation and ensure transparency. Sharing so much knowledge and advice in this episode Cecilia believes Marketers should start by measuring their impact and build claims from solid evidence. And, this isn't just for those organisations operating in the UK, and as many organisations sell into other countries, she advises ensuring alignment with global standards like the EU Green Claims Directive. Tune in and listen as we talk to Cecilia about: The current green claims landscape as we progress through 2025 What organisations and Marketers should be thinking about when considering making green claims Where to go to stay informed and up to date Digital products passports and how they align with green claims The use of technology in supporting green claims The need for Marketing teams to work cross-functionally Why it's important for organisations to talk about what they are doing   For resources check out the CMA's Green Claims Code and on their website you'll find lots of information, such as - what has happened in cases and what advice and agreements were reached. These real world cases further provide guidance on the changes organisations need to consider to ensure they are being responsible when making green claims.

The term "greenwashing" was coined back in 1983 by environmentalist Jay Westerfeld while surfing in Fiji. He later published an essay in 1986 titled "It All Comes Out in the Greenwash," highlighting how companies were making misleading claims about their environmental practices. Fast forward to today, greenwashing has become a sophisticated art form and big business, with some of the world's largest corporations caught in the act.   Whether through misleading marketing in examples like Volkswagen, BP, Nestle, and Fiji Water, or in financial manipulation used by hedge funds and inconsistency among ratings agencies, it's clear the line between genuine sustainability and greenwashing can often be blurred.   One bright spot in the haze is the emergence of modern building efficiency standards that are re-imagining actual sustainability goals. Standards like LEED, BREEAM, Net Zero Energy Building, and the Living Building Challenge set rigorous criteria for energy efficiency, water conservation, and overall environmental impact. These standards all contribute to a major challenge for sustainability: last-mile power.   "Last mile power" refers to the final stage of the electricity delivery process from the power distribution network to the end user, such as homes, businesses, and other facilities. This term is borrowed from telecommunications, where "last mile" describes the final leg of the network that delivers services to customers. In the context of power delivery, it involves the infrastructure and technologies that ensure electricity reaches its final destination efficiently and reliably.   Greenfield construction projects benefit from these new standards where everything can be designed from scratch, but what about brownfield solutions for the last mile?   That's where modern technology solutions like power-over-ethernet, or PoE, can make a real impact on efficiency and reliability without resorting to manipulation to achieve sustainability targets. Where simple modifications using existing infrastructure can make a big impact.    How can Microchip Technology prevent greenwashing through real, tangible sustainability solutions?   Links from the episode: www.microchip/com/poe https://www.thesinclairhotel.com/technology    Guests:  Alan Jay Zwiren

Why Eating Local Isn't a Climate Solution Among the most popular bits of advice for those seeking to reduce their carbon footprint is to “eat local.” But unfortunately, eating local is not a climate solution that packs much of a punch. When it comes to lessening food's climate impact, it's almost entirely about eating less meat and more plants — not where those plants and meat come from.

Send me a messageIn this episode of Climate Confident, I sit down with Jenny Morgan, author of Cancel Culture in Climate, to explore how public shaming and polarisation are holding back real progress on climate solutions.We already have the tools and technologies needed to reduce emissions, yet fear of criticism—whether from activists, media, or the public—often paralyses businesses and leaders. Jenny explains how cancel culture leads to three major pitfalls:Greenwashing – Overstating sustainability efforts to avoid backlash.Greenhushing – Staying silent about genuine climate initiatives to escape scrutiny.Green recanting – Companies reversing climate commitments due to heightened pressure.Rather than tearing down imperfect efforts, Jenny advocates for empathetic accountability—holding organisations to account while keeping the door open for progress. We discuss how companies like Patagonia and Allbirds have embraced transparency over perfection, and how social media can be both a force for good and a major obstacle to climate communication.Key takeaways:✔ Why fear of being “called out” prevents meaningful climate action.✔ How businesses can regain trust after sustainability missteps.✔ Practical strategies to foster productive climate conversations.Tune in to rethink how we approach climate accountability—and why working with people is more effective than working against them.
