A la une de la presse ce vendredi 14 novembre 2025 : un hommage, un business juteux et un phénomène.
Liberal Party leader, Sussan Ley (pictured), is at the centre of discussions that mean little to what it is that Australians need to hear about addressing climate change."These numbers say net zero is doomed – and so is Sussan Ley";"Where the sky keeps bursting";"Greenwashing in the Evergreen State";"Ley's job on the line as Liberals reject net zero";"Birrell advocates for coal, gas, and eventually nuclear";"The Liberal party's betrayal of younger voters on net zero isn't just a moral failure – it's electoral stupidity";"The spectacular nonsense of the Coalition's internal brawl over the 2050 net zero emissions target".

Is that plant derived ingredient ACTUALLY better for you? A lot of companies certainly want you to think so. So today, we're getting ahead of a conversation that I think will only get bigger in the coming years. Here's the trend I'm seeing in the beauty industry: companies, brands and manufacturers are taking ingredients that are historically made from byproducts of petrochemicals and using byproducts of bioethanol instead. Then, the brands are advertising "plant-based" ingredients, painting the picture that they are completely safe and non-toxic. Here's the thing: these ingredients are better for the environment. It's a step in the right direction. However, the final ingredient is exactly the same. So let's break down this case of greenwashing so you can spot it in stores. I currently work in the bioethanol industry, so I'm intimately familiar with how these ingredients are made and I'm dedicated to making this as simple to understand as possible. Head on over to https://toxinfreeish.com/avoid-list in order to get the full context behind the ingredients we're talking about in this episode! In today's episode, we're chatting about: How my new job is giving me a full behind the scenes look into how these ingredients are made The environmental benefits of using bioethanol over petroleum products My problem with the marketing tactics that paint these products as non-toxic A deep dive into phenoxylethanol Mentioned in this episode:Wyld Notes Get 10% off Wyld Notes Botanical Perfume: https://wyldnotes.com/discount/WENDY10?ref=KathrynOstapuk
Can the industry that taught the world to consume help us learn to consume more responsibly? Luke Purdy, Director of Sustainability at one of the world's leading creative agencies Wieden+Kennedy, is betting his career on it. After 13 years working on major accounts like Nike and Corona at one of the world's most influential creative agencies, Purdy did something unusual: he wrote his own job description and asked to become the agency's first sustainability director. Wieden+Kennedy gave him the job, and in 2023, the agency became the first global advertising network to achieve B Corp certification across all nine offices in seven countries. With brands spending over $700 billion annually on advertising worldwide, the messages agencies craft shape not just what people buy, but how they think about consumption itself.Luke discusses how he sold sustainability as a business value proposition rather than a compliance issue, why he reports to the CFO instead of the CMO, and how Wieden+Kennedy's carbon removal program for video productions is changing industry standards. He also tackles thorny questions about greenwashing that can guide which clients agencies should work with, arguing that guiding any company toward sustainability is better than refusing to engage.He shares lessons from helping transform Danish Oil and Natural Gas into Ørsted, one of the world's leading renewable energy companies, and explains why authentic storytelling beats green leaves and clichés every time. Can advertising agencies avoid greenwashing while still growing their clients' businesses? And what does it mean when sustainability becomes culture rather than just compliance?You can learn more about Wieden+Kennedy's sustainability work at wk.com.Subscribe to Sustainability In Your Ear on iTunesFollow Sustainability In Your Ear on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, or YouTube

Pubblicato il decreto per vietare le comunicazioni ingannevoli sulla sostenibilità. Breve illustrazione.
„Wenn wir wirklich nachhaltig bauen wollen, dann müssen wir auch darauf achten, dass wir wirklich mit Holz bauen“: Das sagt Stefan Anderl, Geschäftsführer von ELK KAMPA. Er spricht über serielle Holz- und Modulbauweise, über die Balance von Leistbarkeit und Nachhaltigkeit und darüber, warum Holzbau keine Frage der Assetklasse ist. Es geht außerdem um die Nicht-Definition des Begriffes Holz-Hybrid, um Greenwashing mit Holzfassaden, um mehrgeschossige Holzbauten wie das K8 in Aalen und die Montage von 24 Wohnungen an einem Tag. Wir reden über digitale Hausplanung, Musterhausparks und Experience Center, über den Apple-Store-Effekt in der Bemusterung und über Bemusterungen, die Beziehungen strapazieren können. Einmal mehr ist es Stefan wichtig zu sagen: „Serielles Bauen ist nicht Plattenbau.“ Weil dieses Vorurteil immer noch stärker in den Köpfen ist als gedacht. Er berichtet über die Optimierung der Kosten und erklärt, warum ‚billig, billig, billig‘ nicht immer der richtige Weg ist. Und ja – auch über Felix Neureuther, der tatsächlich in einem ELK-Haus wohnt, als Testimonial sprechen wir.
Welcome back to another episode of Greenwashed & Unhinged — the podcast where we pretend to care about the planet while blindly stumbling through your questions like eco-conscious toddlers in a philosophy seminar.Before we dive in, a heartfelt shoutout to our beloved listener Hannen Beith. Hannen, darling, pull your finger out and send us a question. We know you're lurking. Contribute or be composted.Elodie, from Brittany, France sets the first question today - “Does absolute power corrupt absolutely?”Stuart muses that human power corrupts faster than compost rots in July—unless wielded by a unicorn of selflessness. He compares it to gravity: powerful, universal, and blissfully unaware of politics. William argues corruption is a human invention, like spreadsheets or reality TV. Together, they liken it all to gardening: no plant is evil unless it takes over. So, when in charge, don't believe your own hype—listen twice as much as you talk. Nature does, and it hasn't tried to run for office.Debs, from Didcot, Oxfordshire, England set the second of today's questions - “Someone from Thames Water, when talking about the potential new Oxfordshire reservoir, said, “we need to focus on identifying and moving the wildlife out of the way”, that shows a distinct lack of understanding of mitigating ones environmental impact”.Stuart fondly recalls the time builders lovingly flattened an ancient wildflower meadow for six months, then heroically promised to fix it with a sprinkle of generic grass seed — because clearly, green equals biodiversity. He reminds us that ecosystems aren't IKEA furniture: you can't just relocate wildlife and expect it to “assemble itself.” William adds that animals aren't invading cities — we built over their homes and now call them “urban” like it's a lifestyle choice. Stuart, ever the diplomat, declares his tulip rights while denying nature any. William defends the underdogs — foxes, pigeons, crows — nature's misunderstood freeloaders. Moral of the story? Think long-term. Or at least longer than six months.What do you make of this discussion? Do you have a question that you'd like us to discuss?

What are green claims and why are they under scrutiny? In this episode we are joined by Amy Nelson-Bennett, CEO of Positive Luxury, leading sustainability experts in the global luxury industry, and Eva-Maria Ségur-Cabanac, sustainability partner at Baker McKenzie (Vienna). Together they explore how luxury brands can make credible environmental statements without falling into the trap of greenwashing, as well as how to handle regulatory investigations. They also draw on practical insights from our recently published Green Claims Guide, your go-to accessory for understanding evolving rules in key jurisdictions, spotting enforcement trends, and taking practical steps for compliance and risk mitigation.

A California federal court has approved a $1.5 million settlement resolving claims that Rust-Oleum misled consumers with “non-toxic” and “Earth Friendly” labels on its Krud Kutter products. The case highlights the legal risk of broad environmental marketing claims—especially when qualifiers are buried in fine print. The court found that whether such claims mislead a reasonable consumer is a question for the jury, underscoring the importance of clear and well-supported environmental representations.

Z Energy is apologising for any confusion caused by aspects of a 2022 advertising campaign. In 2022 and 2023, the company ran a 'Moving With The Times' campaign - illustrating its commitments to being more environmentally friendly. Consumer NZ, Lawyers for Climate Action, and the Environmental Law Initiative later took legal action against Z Energy, claiming it was misleading New Zealanders. Z Energy chief executive Lindis Jones says the ad was designed to be 'bold and provocative' "That statement was made alongside a whole lot of other information that contextualised it and provided background. So it's a case of - we've agreed to disagree." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How can carbon offsetting claims in the wine industry be a form of greenwashing? How does the natural fermentation process in winemaking create one of the most concentrated sources of CO₂ emissions in any industry? Can yeast selection and fermentation techniques make winemaking more sustainable? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Andrew Neather & Jane Masters. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks. Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of Andrew Neather & Jane Masters' terrific new book, Rooted in Change: The Stories Behind Sustainable Wine. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck! Highlights How is the Familia Torres winery treating CO₂ as a resource instead of waste? How are yeast choices and co-inoculation helping winemakers reduce energy use? Why are some wineries implementing modern updates of old, low-tech winemaking techniques? How are importers and producers utilizing rail and sea transport to reduce their carbon footprint? What can the Nordic wine monopoly, Systembolaget, teach the rest of the world about sustainable practices? How does greenwashing appear in wine marketing, and why should consumers be wary of carbon offsetting claims? Which certifications and labels can wine lovers actually trust when choosing bottles? How does social sustainability, from fair wages to housing, shape the future of responsible winemaking? How do these issues of climate change and sustainability affect people's lives beyond the vineyards? Key Takeaways How can carbon offsetting claims in the wine industry be a form of greenwashing? For a consumer, I would be suspicious of anyone who is using carbon offsetting to claim they're carbon neutral. The company will pay for trees to be planted, low-energy lightbulbs or stoves in the developing world. it's fine if it actually adds to capacity. The tree planting, it's highly questionable how much good it does. it's really better for a company to ask themselves, how can we reduce our carbon emissions? How does the natural fermentation process in winemaking create one of the most concentrated sources of CO₂ emissions in any industry? The yeast carries out the alcoholic fermentation. So as they do that, they're metabolizing the sugar, creating ethanol, which is alcohol, creating a load of heat and carbon dioxide. The thing about wine is that the emissions that come out of the top of a wine tank are the most concentrated CO2 emissions of any industry at all. Can yeast selection and fermentation techniques make winemaking more sustainable? Yeasts have been selected over years for certain traits, such as particular flavors, producing less compounds such as acetic acid, which we call volatile acidity. At the end of the day, sustainability also includes economic sustainability, so we need to maximize everything that we've grown in the field to get the best possible quality wine.

Dan Dillon is the founder behind Aquaphobix, a heat-applied, non-ablative marine coating that started in swimming pools and is now being tested on fiberglass boats. In this conversation, we dig into the torch-on application, why copper-based bottom paint is still everywhere, and how certifications like Marine Life Safe and Drinking Water Safe translate from pools to marinas and beyond. Some of the moments I found most meaningful in this conversation were: How a pool coating ended up on boats — and why the blowtorch is part of the magic The honest breakdown of copper paints, “ablative” flakes, and microplastics in our water and fish Certifications that actually matter (not greenwashing): marine life and drinking-water safe Real-world cases: SeaWorld exhibits, a 102-year-old public pool, and what marinas care about (hint: sanding revenue) The ROI angle for anglers: fewer haul-outs, better performance, less mess — and where this could go (buoys to cruise ships) Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:10 Dan's background (pool contractor → Aquaphobix) 03:45 What Aquaphobix is (pneumatic thermal plastic) 06:20 Torch-on application: epoxy, powder, and bond strength 09:55 Why traditional bottom paint leaches (ablative vs. hard) 13:10 Microplastics, copper, and environmental impacts 16:05 Certifications: Marine Life Safe & Drinking Water Safe 20:00 SeaWorld & “Venetian Pool” case — draining into aquifer 24:35 Greenwashing claims vs. what's actually in the can 28:40 Marina economics: sanding, haul-outs, fees, and ROI 32:30 Performance, fuel burn, and efficiency tradeoffs 36:15 Big-boat use cases (buoys, cruise ships testing & fines) 40:05 Family-owned company, exclusive rights, patent-pending 43:10 The viral video effect and dealing with comments 46:00 What's next & how to get in touch

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're diving into one of the most eye-opening food conversations we've had yet with scientist, food integrity expert, and founder of Eat For You, Dr. Hayley Dickinson.From misleading labels to outdated nutrition data, Dr. Hayley pulls back the curtain on how food marketing plays on our values especially when it comes to feeding our families. If you've ever wondered whether you can really trust what's written on food packaging, this episode is a must-listen.In this episode, we explore:✅ What greenwashing and nutrition washing actually mean and how they show up in food marketing.✅ Why food labels often don't reflect what's really inside (including shocking nutrient discrepancies).✅ What parents should know about common supermarket products like Brazil nuts, berries, and organic snacks. ✅ Simple, practical ways to reduce chemical exposure and choose better foods without blowing your budget
Greenwashing claims aren't just coming from consumers. Moldex-Metric has sued competitor Protective Industrial Products, alleging false environmental claims about its “bio-based” earplugs in violation of the Lanham Act and California UDAP laws. The case highlights how competitors can leverage the FTC's Green Guides and independent testing to challenge sustainability claims—and why brands must ensure all “eco-friendly” statements are verifiable.

Die Folgen des Klimawandels treffen vor allem den globalen Süden, u.a. mit Dürren und Hungersnöten. Hauptverursacher sind oft Industrieländer. Daher werden finanzielle Kompensationen für betroffene Regionen verhandelt. Doch deren Nutzen ist fraglich: Greenwashing und die Verstärkung sozialer Ungleichheiten sind häufige Kritik- Punkte. Im radio3 Klimagespräch spricht Frank Schmid mit Claudia Horn, Dozentin für Politische Ökonomie am Londoner King's College. Sie hat zu den Folgen der Finanzierung von Umwelthilfen geforscht.

Tijdens het Betweter Festival in Utrecht spraken presentatoren Sander Nieuwenhuijsen en Renette Kwakkenbos met postdoctoraal onderzoeker Rianne Riemens over haar onderzoek naar greenwashing door ‘Big Tech'. “Meer technologie wordt gepresenteerd als dé oplossing voor problemen die technologie zelf heeft veroorzaakt.” Riemens laat zien hoe bedrijven als Apple, Google, Amazon en Microsoft zich presenteren als klimaatredders, terwijl ze behoren tot de grootste vervuilers. In deze aflevering hoor je hoe deze bedrijven duurzaamheid claimen via slimme campagnes, hoe AI wordt gepresenteerd als dé oplossing voor alles en hoe ruimtevaart wordt ingezet als marketingstrategie. Ook bespreken we hoe CEO's zich profileren als wereldleiders en hoe alternatieven aantrekkelijker kunnen worden dan de dominante platforms. “Misschien moet je iets van gebruiksgemak opgeven, maar krijg je er een eerlijker platform voor terug.”
Ep 230 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into AI-powered potato sorting, cowboy boot emojis, and McDonald's massive regenerative agriculture investment — plus a Clarkson's Farm debrief and Lil Wayne's unexpected horse racing debut. First up: Potato Ty takes viewers behind the scenes of green potato sorting on his Canadian farm. The hosts explore how AI technology identifies toxic potatoes (yes, green potatoes contain solanine and shouldn't be eaten), the fascinating machinery that sorts them, and why dairy cows are the ultimate recyclers — eating those green potatoes safely thanks to their multiple stomachs. It's a masterclass in agricultural innovation and food waste reduction. Then, Ariat's social media team makes a bold move: an open letter to Apple demanding better cowboy boot emojis. With three British guard options but no proper Western representation, the hosts debate whether this PSA will spark real change and share their own emoji habits (spoiler: Tara switched to grayscale mode and can no longer tell which heart she's sending). Next, Lil Wayne enters the horse racing world with his stallion "Six Hoof Seven Hoof" (named after his hit "6 Foot 7 Foot"). Tara shares her family's deep horse racing history, from summers in Delmar to a touching tribute to her late father-in-law through a racehorse named Randy's Reserve. BUT WAIT — there's more! McDonald's announces a $200 million commitment over seven years to promote regenerative agriculture practices on 4 million acres across 38 states. Natalie and Tara dissect whether this is genuine change or greenwashing, how grants will reach family ranches in the cow-calf sector, and what it means when major suppliers like Cargill co-fund the initiative. Plus: insights from an upcoming Dear Disco interview with food scientist Stefan Van Vliet on labeling and marketing in agriculture. What We Discovered This Week
Looking 4 Healing Radio with Elizabeth Joseph – Rather than relying on marketing claims, consumers are urged to take a proactive role by requesting ingredient lists, contacting companies directly, and learning to decode food labels.

Hydropower, heat pumps and EVs made Norway a climate darling. Oil and gas exports made it rich. When one Norwegian started to question his role in this story, he came up against the paradox shaping this country's future – and the world's energy transition.
My guest today is author and journalist, Paul Koberstein. I spoke with Paul in 2024 about a book he co-authored called “Canopy of Titans: The Life and Times of the Great North American Temperate Rainforest”.I recently read a great new article of his entitled “Greenwashing in the Evergreen State”, exploring how an industry funded quasi-academic entity got the Democratically controlled Washington State Legislature to endorse industrial logging as beneficial for the climate.I'm a sucker for exposing industry greenwashing, so I'm delighted to have Paul back on the show to talk about his deep dive into the shady world of the Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials, or CORRIM, as we will be referring to them throughout the show.Are interested in radio and/or podcasting??

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Tara Milburn, founder and CEO of Ethical Swag, a certified B Corp reshaping the promotional products industry. Too often, branded merchandise ends up as waste or is produced under questionable conditions. Tara and her team are proving there's a better way, where every procurement choice can align with values, improve transparency, and create measurable impact.We discuss how Ethical Swag was built on the principle that business can be a force for good, even in a sector not known for sustainability. Tara explains why greenwashing remains a challenge, how third-party audits are essential for supplier verification, and why embedding sustainability across all departments, much like digital transformation, creates lasting change. She also shares practical strategies for procurement teams, such as offering “good, better, best” options that balance budgets with environmental and social impact.One of the most striking parts of our conversation was the reminder that products with your logo should reflect your brand values, because when those items end up in landfill, so does your reputation. Tara shows how companies can move beyond token gestures to meaningful storytelling, from seed paper giveaways linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals to impact reporting that makes sustainability visible.If you're a supply chain leader looking to reduce waste, build brand trust, and rethink procurement as a driver of sustainability, you'll find this episode full of insights and inspiration.Elevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Climate Confident Podcast, I sit down with Tom Day from the NewClimate Institute to unpack one of the thorniest issues in corporate climate action: credibility. Over the past few years, big tech companies and multinationals have rolled out bold net zero pledges, but how much of it is substance, and how much is smoke and mirrors?Tom argues that offsets, once seen as a solution, have become a dangerous distraction. Instead of reducing their own emissions, too many firms hide behind carbon credits and creative accounting. We discuss why greenhouse gas accounting, while essential, is riddled with blind spots and loopholes that allow companies to look greener on paper than they are in reality.The conversation digs into the tech sector specifically, where energy demand from data centres and AI is skyrocketing. While firms like Google and Microsoft have pushed promising practices such as 24/7 renewable matching, others continue to claim progress by buying certificates far removed from the grids they actually use. We also ask the tough question: should software and cloud services that help fossil fuel companies extract oil and gas more efficiently really count as climate leadership?From supply chain decarbonisation and product circularity to the future role of carbon removals, Tom challenges us to demand more transparency and honesty from corporate climate strategies. If we want tech, and business at large, to play a meaningful role in a 1.5°C world, we need to move beyond glossy PR and focus on genuine transitions.The Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor 2025 that Tom referenced in the episode is available here.Podcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers: Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Climate is something that we know people care about. It’s something I think a lot of us have anxiety about and feel somewhat helpless around. It’s also not usually the most sexy or humorous topic; but today’s guest has somehow found the ability to interconnect all of those things in her brand new book “Nature’s last dance”. Today we are joined by Natalie Kyriacou! Natalie is an award-winning environmentalist, writer, public speaker, and company director. She was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia and the Forbes 30 Under 30 honour for her services to wildlife and environmental conservation in 2018. Today we wanted to speak about our environmental footprint, some misunderstandings in how we view nature, and whether we are completely f*cked when it comes to climate. But we actually start this chat by Nat telling us that it’s likely the current prime minister thinks she vaginal steams… We chat: Why younger generations seem to be more passionate about climate change and nature destruction The big organisations and systems that point the finger and tell you to use a reusable cup The fashion industry’s impact on our environment Conspicuous consumption - the peacocking of social status Are the damages to our environment too far gone to ‘correct course’? How climate disasters disproportionately affect women What we can all do to help “Greenwashing” and being brand aware Why the price of chocolate is going to skyrocket because of nature Animals and the cute curse The ejaculation helmet Bonobos and their giant clits You can get a copy of Nature’s Last Dance Follow Nat on Instagram Join her on Tiktok You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

The Kristina Farrell Episode: Fighting for Canada's Food System from the InsideIn this episode, hosts Phil and Kenny sit down with Kristina Farrell, CEO of Food & Beverage Canada, to explore the complex world of Canadian food manufacturing policy. Christina, who represents domestic food and beverage manufacturers across the country, breaks down the critical distinction between companies that actually make products in Canada versus those that simply sell here.From her team-of-two operation in Ottawa, Kristina tackles massive challenges including inter-provincial trade barriers, labor shortages, and the ongoing work on Bill C-5. The conversation reveals how 92% of Canada's food manufacturing companies have fewer than 100 employees, yet the industry remains the country's largest manufacturing sector—a fact that often gets overlooked in policy discussions.Kristina shares her journey from government bureaucracy to lobbying, explaining how she became the central coordinator between six provincial food and beverage associations and federal policymakers. The discussion touches on everything from why you've probably had more USDA beef than Alberta beef, to the surprising complexities of calling something "recyclable" under new Competition Act provisions.The hosts and Kristina dig into Canada's tendency to overcomplicate systems that should be straightforward, from food safety standards that vary by province to the challenges of getting recognition for an industry that feeds everyone but struggles to get the political attention given to "sexier" sectors like automotive or mining.Key topics covered:The difference between food manufacturers and CPG companiesInter-provincial trade barriers and Bill C-5Labor challenges in food manufacturingWhy Canada's food system is simultaneously world-class and poorly understood by CanadiansThe role of provincial food and beverage associationsSustainability challenges and greenwashing regulationsThis episode offers an inside look at the people working behind the scenes to keep Canada's food system running, and why understanding these complexities matters for everyone who eats.Find Kristina here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristina-farrell-b09ba549/Thank you to Field Agent Canada for sponsoring the podcast: https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/
Among the recent amendments to Canada's Competition Act are new provisions targeting so-called “greenwashing,” i.e., misleading claims in advertising regarding the environmental benefits of a product. In a related development, the Competition Bureau has issued guidelines concerning its enforcement approach to environmental claims under the new law. What will be the impact of the changes on companies and consumers? In this episode, Alicia Downey and Anora Wang talk to Canadian consumer protection lawyer Candice Kloes about the amendments, the guidelines, and the increased risks and compliance burdens posed by public-facing environmental claims in Canada.
