Wrays: Green Marketing and Greenwashing: Risks under the Australian Consumer Law

29 November 2022 @ 8:30 am - 9:00 am AWST

As companies strive to present a positive environmental image, they need to be careful not to overstate their position. It can be as subtle as a misleading packaging choice or a company claiming they are eco-champions! This is an area of increased focus for regulators, including the ACCC.

 

Please join us for a breakfast seminar where we will discuss the implications of ‘Greenwashing’ – when a company misrepresents its sustainability or ‘green’ credentials.

 

In this seminar we will cover:

  • An introduction to the Australian Consumer Law, including relevant prohibitions and associated penalties
  • ACCC priorities and ‘green’ marketing guidelines
  • Emerging greenwashing risks
  • Case/campaign examples
  • Steps you can take to ensure the integrity of your environmental claims

Who should attend:

Inhouse legal counsel
Business Development Managers
Marketing and Communications Managers

Judith Miller, Principal

Alexandra Chubb, Special Counsel
