Business of Society live podcast-recording. Embracing the tensions? Operating at the intersection between aspirational talk and greenwashing
Wherever we look, we are confronted with the urgency of corporate sustainability and green transition if we want to ensure a livable future. In this climate, businesses are operating in a strange space: On the one hand, urged to set ambitious goals for their sustainability efforts, while, on the other, they are instructed to avoid green- or any other form of washing. Once called out for greenwashing, the label will stick to your reputation like super glue. So how do businesses navigate these tensions; these dual, and potentially conflicting, imperatives?
