Companies found to be lobbying against their own climate goals
Firms whose policy engagement most contradict their stated climate goals are large producers or users of fossil fuels.
More than half of the world’s largest companies are lobbying against policies that could accelerate the delivery of Paris Agreement goals, despite their own publicly stated ambitions to meet these goals.
The Net Zero Greenwash report, published by think tank InfluenceMap, shows that policy engagement does not match net zero communication for 58% of almost 300 companies from the Forbes 2,000 list. After recent estimates showing that corporate GHG emissions are on the rise despite record levels of climate commitments and reporting, this new study reemphasises the fact that in climate matters, words do not always equate action.
