Does sportswashing even work?
While the media paints sportswashing as evil, more research is needed to evaluate whether it is really changing attitudes on the ground.
Large companies worldwide have made net-zero pledges, but they often rely on misleading or false claims. New rules and recent court cases promise to make it harder for firms to pose as “climate leaders” while maintaining pollution as usual.

Fossil-linked energy firms have high emissions and the room for denial is shrinking: IEEFA
The first global sustainability reporting standards, to include new requirements for Scope 3 emission, is expected to be published in June 2023. Energy companies would be wise to have robust decarbonisation plans, as opportunities for greenwashing will be limited once full emissions are reported.
If sustainability really was at the heart of everything businesses did, the planet probably would not be 1.2°C warmer than it should be. It's time for corporates to stop using the same meaningless catchphrase – or risk alienating consumers
