Footwear brands under investigation in Australia for greenwashing
08/03/2023
Australia’s Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is to launch investigations into a number of businesses for potential greenwashing.
ACCC carried out web-based research of marketing claims and found that more than half the businesses it looked at were making “concerning claims about their sustainability practices”. It looked at almost 250 businesses; 57% made claims about which ACCC has raised questions.
