Equitable Trust Co. recently sold some of its shares in the Vanguard ESG US Stock ETF. This fund focuses on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria. Vanguard is a well-known name, but sometimes “ESG” is used just to attract investors. Make sure the funds you pick truly match your values.
Trail running in France is becoming very popular. Events like the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc are drawing many people. But with this growth, there are challenges. Some sponsors may pretend to be eco-friendly. Many new city professionals are joining the sport, raising concerns about keeping its nature-focused values. Be careful about the brands and events you support to ensure they are not just pretending to be green.
In business, false claims about being eco-friendly are common. The New York attorney general has sued JBS USA for allegedly lying about cutting greenhouse gas emissions. This shows why it’s important to hold companies accountable for their promises.
A survey by Korn Ferry shows many CEOs in India feel like “imposters.” They face pressure to grow their companies and solve social issues. This pressure can lead to dishonest behavior. As consumers, we should be aware of this and watch out for false claims.
JetBlue, once a popular airline, now faces money problems and unhappy customers. This struggle reminds us that even well-liked companies can use fake green practices to survive. We must stay critical of the brands we support and their environmental claims.
In a world full of greenwashing, staying informed is key. Whether investing in your child’s future, enjoying outdoor sports, or choosing companies to support, always check their environmental claims. Together, we can fight greenwashing and work towards a truly sustainable future.
