The phrase "greenwashing" has come to mean overstating or misrepresenting ESG claims. Businesses are increasingly marketing the ESG benefits of their companies and products. Government regulators, shareholders, employees, and consumers examine ESG claims and are on the lookout for exaggerated, overstated and unsubstantiated claims.

BritCham Shanghai's ESG Committee will host a sharing about greenwashing, to discuss key issues including:

1. Greenwashing risks when marketing your ESG impacts
2. ESG rating
3. Rules for ESG statement
4. Corporate risk mitigation strategy

This event is suitable for:

1. Corporate executives
2. ESG managers and compliance officers
3. Professionals working on sustainability or ESG

The entry includes tea and snacks.
