Published: 2024-07-16

Welcome to today’s edition of the Daily Greenwashing Digest! Here, we expose the tricks companies use to look more eco-friendly than they really are. Our goal is to help you see through these lies and make better choices for our planet.

JP3 Measurement, part of Flotek Industries, got EPA approval for its JP3 system. This system measures flare gases to meet new rules. It looks like a green step, but we need to check if it’s real or just a way to look good in the oil and gas market. Flotek says they care about the environment, but we should watch out for any false claims.

Boohoo Group hired Sophie Rycroft as the director of responsible sourcing and started “The Boohoo Collective.” This mixes social media with products. Even though Boohoo’s leaders gave up their £1m bonuses due to bad financial results, we must ask if their actions are truly ethical or just a trick to look better.

Invicti has a new API Security solution that combines API discovery with security tests. APIs are becoming more common and risky, so this solution aims to help. But we need to see if this is a real effort to improve security or just a way to cash in on fears about API risks.

Alaska Energy Metals Corporation started drilling for nickel, copper, cobalt, and other minerals. They want to be a big player in energy-related metals. But we must check if they really follow ethical mining practices or if this is just greenwashing to attract investors.

The idea that companies should only focus on profit is being challenged. Now, businesses are urged to include climate and environmental goals. This change seems good, but we must watch out for companies that might use this as a cover for false practices.

The London Stock Exchange is facing problems with companies leaving and competition from other markets. The Financial Conduct Authority is trying to fix this, but there are still worries about ethics and corporate behavior. As investors, we need to be aware of possible unethical actions.

Scotland Food & Drink has a new guide called ‘Navigating Net Zero Handbook’ to help businesses cut emissions. This is a move towards sustainability, but we need to check if it really drives change or if it’s just to meet consumer demand for green products.

Alpha Financial Markets Consulting hit a new high, and analysts expect growth. The stock looks good, but we should see if their claims are true or if there’s a risk of false hype.

AuditBoard’s new tool helps internal audit teams check their compliance with IIA Standards and cybersecurity rules. It’s praised for being easy to use, but we need to ask if it really helps with compliance or if it’s just a way to profit from market trends.

NeOnc Technologies got FDA approval to expand its brain cancer treatment trial. This brings hope to patients, but we must ensure their claims are true and not false promises.

US Senator J.D. Vance might be Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2024 election. Experts think this won’t widen Trump’s voter base. In politics, we need to watch out for false strategies and make sure leaders keep their promises.

Cloud computing is important in business, with companies like Workiva Inc. growing fast. We need to check if this growth is real or if there are false claims.

As we explore corporate greenwashing, we must stay alert and question companies' claims. By staying informed and critical, we can work towards a more ethical and green future for everyone.
