What this course covers…

Greenwashing is a “behaviour or activity that make people believe that a company is doing more to protect the environment than it really is”, and it is rising significantly. This course looks at greenwashing, what it is, why organisations do it, the different forms it shows up in and why it is such a damaging practice. We’ll look at the regulation and guidelines being introduced to try and stop it, explore examples, and look at what you can do to spot it and more importantly try and prevent it.
