AI-Washing: Wenn KI nur auf dem Etikett steht (3min-Impuls) AI-Washing ist das neue Greenwashing. Große Tech-Konzerne wie SAP, Salesforce oder Microsoft rühmen sich mit KI-getriebenen Produktivitätsgewinnen – doch was steckt wirklich dahinter? Ist das echte Innovation oder nur Marketing? In dieser Episode werfen wir einen kritischen Blick auf die gängigen Verkaufsstrategien rund um Künstliche Intelligenz... und darauf, was das für Berater, Unternehmer und Entscheider bedeutet. Michael Schmidt auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelschmid-ki/ KI als Verkaufsargument... aber wo ist der echte Nutzen? SAP meldet, dass in über der Hälfte aller neuen Cloud-Verträge KI enthalten ist. Salesforce behauptet, dass schon 50 Prozent der Cloud-Arbeit von KI übernommen wird. Und Microsofts Satya Nadella feiert den KI-Co-Piloten als Umsatz-Booster. Doch der Verdacht liegt nahe: Viel Schein, wenig Substanz. KI wird oft einfach serienmäßig integriert, Preise steigen, Funktionen sind da – aber der produktive Mehrwert bleibt unklar. Willkommen im Zeitalter des AI-Washings. AI-Washing erkennen – Verantwortung in der Beratung Gerade in der strategischen Unternehmensberatung ist jetzt klare Haltung gefragt. Wer seine Kunden wirklich unterstützt, darf sich nicht von Sales-Pitches blenden lassen. Es braucht konkrete Tests, Demos und Playgrounds, um zu prüfen: Ist das, was als KI verkauft wird, tatsächlich intelligent – oder einfach nur ein neues Preisschild? Softwareberatung wird zur Schlüsselkompetenz. KI-Berater müssen demaskieren können, was nur nach KI klingt – und was tatsächlich Nutzen stiftet. Agenten oder nur Automatisierung? Ein weiterer Trendbegriff sorgt für Verwirrung: agentische Systeme. Alles scheint plötzlich „agentisch“ zu sein... doch häufig steckt nichts anderes dahinter als klassische Automatisierung. Der Unterschied ist entscheidend: Agenten agieren kontextsensitiv, interaktiv und zielgerichtet. Automatisierung folgt festen Regeln. Wer hier sauber differenziert, schützt seine Kunden vor falschen Investitionen und sichert echte Innovationssprünge statt leerer Versprechen. Fazit: KI-Kompetenz ist mehr als Buzzword-Bingo AI-Washing zeigt, wie schnell aus technologischem Fortschritt ein Marketinginstrument wird. Für dich als Unternehmer, Berater oder Entscheider heißt das: Genau hinschauen, kritisch prüfen, differenzieren. Nur wer KI nicht als Etikett, sondern als Werkzeug mit strategischem Mehrwert versteht, wird davon profitieren. Und genau hier liegt die Chance – für dich, für deine Kunden, für dein Business.

Even as cases of greenwashing have declined globally as environmental, social and governance (ESG) language fades from the corporate lexicon, in Australia, greenwashing has remained a mainstream issue as regulators and consumer groups have pursued questionable green claims in the courts. Joining the Eco-Business Podcast to discuss how Australia has taken the lead in tackling greenwashing is John Pabon, a former United Nations policy analyst and China-based Business for Social Responsibility strategist who now runs sustainability consultancy Fulcrum Strategic Advisors. He authored the book, The Great Greenwashing: How Brands, Governments, and Influencers Are Lying to You. Tune in as we discuss: How did John Pabon get interested in greenwashing? Greenwashing cases in Australia this year How did Australia get to grips with greenwashing? Has Australia been influenced by Trump and a pivoting Europe? Why are companies still falling into the greenwashing trap? Greenhushing and corporate vulnerability

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.

In this episode of Talking Animal Law, we're joined by Dr. Angus Nurse, Professor of Law and Environmental Justice at Anglia Ruskin University and a core member of A-Law's Wildlife Law Working Group. Dr. Nurse takes us on a journey through his career, from his early days as an investigator to becoming a leading voice in green criminology. We dive into his groundbreaking research, including the "System Set to Fail" report and his book, Cleaning Up Greenwash, to uncover why our current legal systems often fall short in protecting animals and the environment. This episode explores the crucial links between animal welfare and the criminal justice system, offering a new perspective on how we can create a more just world for animals. Timestamps & Topics 0:08 - 1:19 — Introduction: Introducing Dr. Angus Nurse, his work at Anglia Ruskin University, and his role with the UK Centre for Animal Law (A-Law). 1:20 - 4:24 — Investigative Roots: Dr. Nurse reflects on his career as an investigator for the Local Government Ombudsman and how it shaped his interest in law and justice. He discusses the recurring nature of problems and the disconnect between what the law says and how it is applied. 4:25 - 6:02 — Policy and Animals: The conversation touches on how new legislation, such as the planning and infrastructure bill, can have negative consequences for wildlife and that human benefit often takes priority over animal welfare. 6:03 - 7:27 — Dogs and Human Responsibility: Dr. Nurse addresses the complexities of responsible dog ownership and dangerous dogs, arguing that many dog attacks are preventable and are rooted in human-centered issues. 7:28 - 10:50 — Beyond Punishment: Dr. Nurse delves into the "investigative mind" and the limitations of a justice system focused solely on punishment, arguing that a retributive approach fails to achieve justice for animal victims. 10:51 - 12:46 — Corporate Crime: Discussion of corporate environmental crime and why traditional penalties like fines are often ineffective against major corporations. 12:47 - 18:37 — The "System Set to Fail" Report: Dr. Nurse explains why animal victims don't receive the same resources as human victims, highlighting systemic issues like resource allocation, rural policing, and lack of training for courts and lawyers. 18:38 - 22:34 — Transforming Justice for Animals: Dr. Nurse reflects on his changing perspective, from believing the system "broadly works" to becoming less confident in its effectiveness and the need for radical rethinking. He discusses how the law can be better constructed to consider the "victimization of the animal". 22:35 - 26:27 — Unpacking "Greenwash": An explanation of why corporate environmental crime is an "inevitable consequence of capitalism" and how companies use greenwashing to hide harmful practices. 26:28 - 30:22 — Public Awareness and Newsworthiness: The conversation explores why some animal and environmental issues, such as cat torture or elephant ivory, receive media attention, while others, like low-level habitat destruction, go unnoticed. 30:23 - 37:44 — Research Methods & Obstacles: Dr. Nurse details the empirical methods used in his research, including questionnaires and interviews, to understand the barriers to effective wildlife crime prosecution. 37:45 - 42:20 — Notifiable Offenses: He explains the crucial need to make wildlife crimes "notifiable offenses," which would require police to record them and help address the problem of patchy data collection. 42:21 - 45:39 — Elevating Animal Crimes: Dr. Nurse shares his belief that making crimes notifiable elevates their status and signals that they are a policing priority. He gives an example of the challenge of obtaining data on dog attacks due to inconsistent recording. 45:40 - 48:45 — Recommended Resources & Actionable Advice: Dr. Nurse recommends books like Stephen Wise's Rattling the Cage and Joan Schaffner's Introduction to Animals and the Law. His advice to listeners: "Don't give up," as incremental change takes time. 48:46 - 49:22 — Outro & Contact Information: Dr. Nurse shares where listeners can find his work and connect with him online.

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’?

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/

„Mode kann Frauen unterdrücken oder sie stärken - und wir entscheiden.“ Was sagt deine Kleidung über dich aus – und welchen Preis zahlen andere dafür? In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Maia Milter, Brand & Customer Managerin, nushu member und ehrenamtlich aktiv bei Fashion Revolution Hamburg. - Wir gehen der Frage nach, wie wir Greenwashing erkennen, welche Siegel wirklich verlässlich sind und warum ein 10-Euro-Shirt niemals fair sein kann. - Du erfährst, welche Konzepte jenseits von Second Hand und Capsule Wardrobe noch mehr Impact haben – von Kleidertauschpartys bis Mietmodellen. - Wir diskutieren, warum Mode weit mehr ist als Stoff und Farbe: Sie ist Haltung. Und sie kann Frauen weltweit empowern oder ausbeuten.
Det er svært at sige ESG uden at sige AI – altså kunstig intelligens. Vi ser, at AI lynhurtigt kan generere CSRD-rapportering eller dobbelt væsentlighedsanalyse. Er det godt eller skidt? Hvor kan AI bringe merværdi til ESG-arbejdet og hvor er faldgruberne? Lyt med når jeg diskuterer AI i ESG-arbejdet med seniorkonsulent Holger Enevoldsen fra SustainBusiness – konsulenthuset, som jeg har grundlagt sammen med Jens Vogel. Holger Enevoldsen har bidraget til at udvikle SustainBusiness' egen AI-model ”Allasia”. Den bliver brugt som ”greenwashing detektor”, altså til at identificere vildledende markedsføring og er trænet med udgangspunkt i konkrete eksempler fra Forbrugerombudsmandens anbefalinger for miljømarkedsføring. Allasia analyserer virksomheders kommunikation og markerer formuleringer, der kan være vildledende eller svære at dokumentere. Du kan høre om: • Fordele og ulemper ved at benytte kunstig intelligens til ESG-rapportering • Hvornår bringer kunstig intelligens merværdi til ESG-arbejdet • Hvad det præcist er Allasia kan benyttes til og hvordan den fungerer • Hvordan modeller som Allasia kan ”læse” den systematiserede ESG-data og hurtigt danne sig et overblik over indhold Nævnt i episoden: • AGI – Artificial General Intelligence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligence • AI-modellen NotebookLM: https://notebooklm.google/ • Klimaatlas: https://www.dmi.dk/klimaatlas/ • Greenwashing-tjek med Allasia: https://sustainbusiness.dk/greenwashing-tjek/ • Rapporten ESG-kommunikation i møbelbranchen: https://sustainbusiness.dk/rapport-esg-kommunikation/ • Artiklen: ”AI mod greenwas¬hing: Konsulenthus har et bud” i Børsen: https://borsen.dk/nyheder/baeredygtig/ai-mod-greenwashing-konsulenthus-har-et-bud?b_source=baeredygtig&b_medium=row_0&b_campaign=news_4 • Green Claims direktivet: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20240308IPR19001/parliament-wants-to-improve-consumer-protection-against-misleading-claims • Forbrugerombudsmandens anbefalinger til virksomheders miljømarkedsføring: https://forbrugerombudsmanden.dk/longreads/virksomheders-miljoemarkedsfoering-forbrugerombudsmandens-anbefalinger • Læs mere om SustainBusiness' uddannelse af salgsorganisationen https://sustainbusiness.dk/uddannelser/ Tips, idéer eller ønsker?

As global industries face mounting pressure to operate more efficiently and sustainably, many are turning to the combined power of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). From optimising energy usage to enabling real-time decision-making, these technologies are reshaping how businesses think about infrastructure, impact, and innovation. But the road to adoption isn't without its challenges, from data literacy to greenwashing.In this episode of Tech Transformed, Em360Tech host Trisha Pillay talks with Akanksha Sharma, Senior Director at the GSMA Foundation, about how these emerging technologies are creating tangible value, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and industries with legacy systems like utilities. IOT and AISharma highlights that the 2020s will be remembered as the decade when IoT experiences exponential growth, supported by data from GSMA Intelligence projecting over 37 billion IoT connections worldwide by 2030, more than doubling the number recorded in 2021. She notes that, unlike previous technological waves, AI adoption is accelerating rapidly, moving from niche awareness to mainstream use within just a few years.When discussing climate action and carbon markets, Sharma stresses the need for transparent, data-backed verification mechanisms. She warns against superficial greenwashing practices and advocates for AI systems that prioritise accuracy and ethical standards to ensure genuine environmental benefits.TakeawaysData-driven infrastructure can turn sustainability into reality.AI and IoT are set to scale in the 2020s.Small and medium enterprises face unique operational challenges.Digital solutions can enhance the accuracy of carbon credits.Greenwashing misleads consumers about environmental benefits.Digital literacy is a major barrier to technology adoption.Start with the 'why' when adopting new technologies.Ethics in AI must be prioritised to avoid negative consequences.The world is changing due to climate change and technology.Collaboration is key to effective climate action.Chapters:00:00 – Transforming Sustainability with Data-Driven Infrastructure03:05 – The Role of AI and IoT in Enterprises09:10 – Challenges in Operational Efficiency and Sustainability13:42 – Real-World Impact of AI and IoT16:57 – Carbon Markets and Digital Solutions21:08 – Understanding Greenwashing23:30 – Barriers to Technology Adoption26:17 – Key Takeaways and PredictionsAbout Akanksha SharmaAkanksha Sharma leads the ClimateTech and Digital Utilities programmes at GSMA, where she drives innovation at the...

Dabei gibt sie uns Einblicke, woran sie nachhaltige Unternehmen erkennt, wie der Bewerbungsprozess abläuft und warum gelebte Wertevorstellungen und Glaubwürdigkeit heute unverzichtbar sind.Zum Schluss teilt Anna wertvolle Tipps und persönliche Ratschläge für junge Models und alle, die sich für ethische Mode interessieren: Wie finde ich meine eigenen Werte? Was mache ich, wenn ich vor schwierigen Entscheidungen stehe? Warum ist Authentizität wichtiger als Perfektion?

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.

Die Idee klingt clever: Wer Plastik kauft, muss zahlen. Und zwar nicht nur für den Kunststoff selbst, sondern auch dafür, dass er nicht in der Umwelt landet. Plastic Credits heißt das Modell. Mit dem Geld aus diesen Plastik-Zertifikaten sollen Recyclinganlagen und Müllsammelsysteme aufgebaut werden - bevorzugt in Ländern, die besonders unter Plastikmüll leiden. Doch funktioniert das wirklich? Oder ist es nur ein grünes Feigenblatt für Unternehmen? Im Rahmen des UN-Plastikabkommens wird weltweit verhandelt, welche Regeln für solche Modelle gelten sollen. Dieser Podcast klärt, ob Plastic Credits die Plastikflut in der Umwelt wirklich eindämmen können - und welche Regeln dafür nötig sind, damit es kein nutzloses Greenwashing wird.

Is your makeup messing with your hormones? Could your cleaning products be impacting your fertility? And how do we make informed choices without spiraling into fear or perfectionism? In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine invites us to ask bold questions about the everyday products we use—and the hidden chemicals within them. Joining her is activist and author Lindsay Dahl, who's spent her career fighting for consumer safety and pulling back the curtain on toxic chemicals.

Listen to this episode for ways to save money while supporting your values! Co-hosts Tania and Adriana share what companies they boycott and why, and which alternative companies have ethical practices they support. Many of the companies on our boycott lists have documented labor rights violations or support governments rooted in white supremacy and oppressive systems. Boycotting large corporations has opened new ways for us to reconnect with our local communities such as through mutual aid. It's also a great excuse to find new small family-owned businesses to support. Boycotting is a great technique that has worked for many movements in the past, and it's a great way to hold companies accountable for their practices.Remember: the companies you choose to support should hold your values for community care and equal rights.Resources:Boycott List by BDS MovementBoycott List by Ethical ConsumerAnti-DEI Boycott ListWhy to boycott Chiquita and DoleWhy to boycott NestleAlternative Brands by Ethical Consumer15 Ethical & Sustainable Brands by Sustainably ChicBuyNothingListen to our previous episode “Activism, But Make It Fashionable” for clothing brands we don't and do supportVictory!

From 2009-2015 Volkswagen cheated on emissions tests to convince customers to buy 11 million VW cars they thought burned clean diesel. Kimberley Kinsley says “Dieselgate” was the largest ever case of corporate greenwashing. Also: Big tech companies often boast they're using technologies that can save the planet. But Jesse Goldstein argues that the allure of AI–which requires energy hungry data centers–will lead to more and more excuses for why they have to keep fossil fuels flowing. Later in the show: The can-do innovation that emerged after World War II came to define American identity. In his new book, Every American an Innovator, Matthew Wisnioski traces how that culture of innovation we once celebrated is facing a backlash. Plus: For decades, children have traveled with a wacky teacher named Miss Frizzle, who drives the Magic School Bus. Michael Meindl explains how The Magic School Bus became one of the most successful informal science education initiatives ever.

Everything you've been told about saving the planet is a lie. The green energy movement isn't just failing—it's actively making environmental destruction worse while enriching the same corporate elites who caused the crisis in the first place. This explosive documentary investigation exposes how the environmental movement has been hijacked by forces that have no intention of saving anything except their own profits. We're talking about a massive deception operation that spans decades, involving fake science, manipulated data, and psychological warfare designed to make you feel good about solutions that are actually accelerating planetary destruction. The solar panels, wind farms, and electric vehicles being pushed as salvation are built using child labor, toxic materials, and manufacturing processes that create more environmental damage than the problems they claim to solve. Our comprehensive investigation reveals how environmental organizations have been co-opted by the same billionaires and corporations that profit from endless consumption, how green energy companies are connected to the most polluting industries on Earth, and how the climate movement has become a cover for the largest wealth transfer in human history. Mystery enthusiasts and truth-seekers know that some movements are controlled opposition—and this documentary proves the green energy scam is the ultimate example. From the rare earth mining operations that destroy entire ecosystems to the massive carbon footprints of renewable energy manufacturing, we expose how the environmental movement has become a tool for social control rather than planetary healing. The same forces pushing green energy are the ones suppressing real solutions, silencing genuine environmental scientists, and profiting from the destruction they claim to oppose. We'll reveal connections between environmental organizations and intelligence agencies, how climate data has been systematically manipulated to support predetermined conclusions, and how the green energy industry has become a front for some of the most environmentally destructive operations in human history. This isn't just about corporate greed—it's about using environmental fear to justify massive social and economic control systems. From biomass burning that destroys forests to lithium mining that poisons water supplies, from solar panel graveyards to wind turbine blade landfills, this documentary exposes how the planet of the humans is being systematically destroyed by the very people claiming to save it. The environmental movement didn't fail—it was designed to fail while enriching its controllers. Stream exclusively on Spreaker for uncensored bonus content about suppressed environmental research, or find us on Amazon Music (ask your Alexa about green energy conspiracies), Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and everywhere truth-seekers get their environmental reality checks. Some movements are designed to fail—this episode tells you why.
