Decarbonisation is a rapidly evolving driver of transformation that is at the forefront of business agendas globally. Every week seems to bring new announcements and conferences to attend. It can be challenging to keep on top of the flow of information, let alone find time to understand the practical business impacts. In this ‘back to basics’ webinar series we aim to bring clarity to some of the key business issues in short sessions with a focus on the practical.
Policy overview and jargon busting | June 2021
In this webinar we take stock of where we are in terms of policy and regulation following the G7 summit and look ahead to COP26. We also take a step back to explain the most frequently used terms relating to decarbonisation, such as examining the difference between carbon neutral and net zero.
Greenwashing | July 2021
The concern that advertisers can make their business or products sound more environmentally friendly than they really are through "greenwashing" is a matter firmly on the radar of the CMA and Advertising Standards Authority.
