According to its website, the program assists businesses in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions, and that by "supporting businesses with the Climate Active trademark, you are supporting climate action".
But critics say the government-backed body is engaging in "greenwashing" — providing environmentally friendly cover for polluting industries to carry on with business as usual, while giving the impression they're taking meaningful action on climate change. https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2023-03-10/carbon-neutral-emissions-climate-active-greenwashing-companies/101991904 #trademark #consumerlaw #certification #greenwashing #auslaw #auspol

In this week's episode, we dive into why Microsoft is spending up big on ChatGPT, and what that means for the future of its services and products, as well as looking into why the ACCC is peering at the sometimes-murky relationship between influencers and big tech brands. Would you buy a graphics card because an influencer told you to?

It puts honest companies, who bear the costs of green business practices, at a competitive disadvantage. And it harms consumers who want to make conscientious decisions about what products to buy and what businesses to support.'
