Greenwashing – we know it exists but recognising greenwashing in practice, often in very sophisticated campaigns, makes it challenging for any company to navigate the jungle of false environmental claims.

The UK and EU are taking decisive measures by imposing direct penalties for misleading environmental claims.

For those short on time, working out how to protect yourself from making inaccurate claims is now a potential liability not just a mere concern while the risk of overlooking and not properly highlighting genuine sustainability efforts can lead to missed opportunities for differentiation.

Join us for this webinar, featuring experts from Whitehouse Communications, an independent communications agency specialising in public affairs, policy analysis, media relations, crisis communications, for insights on navigating the complexities of greenwashing.

We will cover:

💡What is Greenwashing, how prevalent it is and how to recognise it

💡What on-going policy efforts are there in the EU and the UK to tackle it, and why it is one of the EU’s big sustainability priorities at the moment

💡What are the top level insights you need to know from the policy landscape and how do these regulations impact businesses

💡Learn how the result of upcoming EU and UK elections might impact policy sustainability commitments

Participants are asked to submit questions in advance, providing an opportunity to engage directly with the speakers. Questions received during the registration process will be prioritized during the session’s Q&A. The session will be recorded and shared with all attendees for reference.
