How to Avoid Greenwashing
What is Greenwashing
Greenwashing is when packaging, advertising, and other company messaging indicates that packaging or company practices are eco-friendly, when in fact they are not. Misleading or incorrect messaging is becoming more common as environmental awareness campaigns become more widespread.
How Can FSC Help?
To make informed choices, you should look for the FSC label when buying forest-based products. To be FSC Certified, the business must comply with rigorous global standards for sustainable forest management. Supporting FSC certified products aids in protecting ecosystems, endangered species, and combating illegal logging, with a list of certified retailers available for eco-conscious shoppers in Australia and New Zealand.
What Can You Do?
It might seem impossible to avoid greenwashed companies and products, so here are a few steps you can take:
- Research the claims being made. Do some research online and see if the claims are accurate.
- Review sustainability reports. Sometimes companies make their sustainability reports available for public review.
- Compare company practices to industry standards
- Assess the transparancy of the company. How open are they about their sustainable practices?
- Look for the FSC Label when purchasing forest-based products.
