Boss of competition regulator says scrutiny of climate claims, including over carbon credits, will be an enforcement priority

Cass-Gottlieb said the ACCC’s only action to date against greenwashing, involving a company claiming its wipes were flushable, had failed.“It’s enough to say a claim is based on a standard or guidelines or some sort of certification without knowing if that standard is robust,” Hemming said.

“You could see with your own eyes that these wipes were choking up sewers – they pulled seven metres of them out of a Queensland sewer,” Hemming said. “It’s absurd when physical evidence has no weight in these matters.” Sean Carmody, an executive director at APRA, said its emphasis had been the “consistency and clarity” of company disclosures. “Greenwashing could be one of the litigation risks,” he said.Officials from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission said they too were planning to step up anti-greenwashing action.

“So [we’re] looking at statements like claims about wanting to achieve net zero emissions by a particular time, claims about carbon neutrality, claims about an emissions reduction strategy,” Court said, adding there was also the “broad area” of products claiming to screen out certain investments.
