16 brands called out for greenwashing in 2024

Quick Summary:

Airlines came under scrutiny for suspect green claims this year, as did net zero targets, sustainability-linked loans and the UN-led COP process.

Australia led the Asia Pacific region for penalising firms for greenwashing with fines.

Conference of Parties (COP) climate meetings have proven to be “greenwashing conferences” that legitimise a collective failure to ensure a liveable future and have allowed authoritarian regimes like Azerbaijan and the two previous hosts – the United Arab Emirates and Egypt – to continue violating human rights, wrote Greta Thunberg in an opinion piece in The Guardian just before the start of COP29 in Baku.
