Ensure your staff understand how to avoid greenwashing by accurately and honestly communicating the environmental benefits of your products and services.

Greenwashing is the deceptive practice of making false or exaggerated claims about the environmental benefits of a product, service, or business practice.

This can be harmful as it misleads consumers into believing that they are supporting environmentally friendly choices when, in reality, they are not.

Greenwashing violates the Competition and Consumer Act, and such breaches can result in significant penalties for organisations, including hefty fines and damage to their reputation.
