Is the rise of green business a genuine shift or a marketing scam?
In short: As companies boast of carbon neutrality and sustainable materials, a troubling question emerges: are these environmental claims genuine progress or merely a post-truth marketing tactic designed to benefit shareholders?
Professor Carolyn Roberts examines the tension between corporate environmental claims and reality. While many organisations promote responsibly sourced materials and carbon neutrality, the sector faces significant challenges, including diesel emission frauds and the deceptive nature of supposedly degradable plastics.
The discussion explores whether global businesses are truly driving sustainable practices or if we are witnessing a surge in green marketing scams. This inquiry is particularly relevant as industries like fashion promote constant consumption under the guise of sustainability.
