Parents for Climate CEO Nic Seton unpacks the next chapter in the group’s fight against misleading climate claims.
After securing a major settlement against Energy Australia earlier this year — which led to an apology to 400,000 customers and the withdrawal of the company’s Go Neutral product — the Parents have turned their sights on claims made by other energy retailers, and the government sanctioned Climate Active scheme that has endorsed them.
Their new report reveals that one in three major retailers are making potentially misleading claims — and they name who they are. Nic explains why the government-backed standard isn’t fit for purpose, and how it’s enabling energy retailers to market products that look green but don’t stack up.
