Global Greenwashing: Time to stop the spin cycle

Craft powerful, credible environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) narratives to help drive real impact.

In today’s sustainability-driven world, your organisation’s credibility hinges on how you communicate your environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts. Accurate, relevant, and credible ESG narratives are key to building trust and driving progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals.

Global Greenwashing: Time to Stop the Spin Cycle is a self-paced online course designed to empower businesses to communicate confidently and accurately about ESG topics. By mastering the principles of responsible storytelling, you’ll learn how to avoid common pitfalls and contribute meaningfully to global sustainability efforts.

With greenwashing scrutiny intensifying in Canada following amendments to the Competition Act under Bill C-59, and enforcement increasing globally, even well-intentioned sustainability messaging can create significant legal and reputational risk. In this course you will learn how greenwashing laws are governed and enforced in Canada, and the latest developments in the regulatory landscape. As well from other countries, including Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, India, United Kingdom, United States, and more!

Learner Feedback

“Really great case studies, easy to follow course, excellent high quality videos. I enjoyed all the content and consideration of different types of examples throughout.”

“This is one of the most engaging short courses I’ve ever completed. The balance of reading materials, video, feedback opportunities and being able to review and share experiences exceeded my expectations. l expected to find the course valuable but I did not expect to find it so thoroughly enjoyable. The mix of technical information and practical, relevant, recent examples was also fantastic.”

“This was a wonderful course. I am left wanting to learn more and do more and I will be talking about what I've learnt both within and outside my organisation. I completed this course at a particularly busy time in my work schedule and at the outset was worried that I may need to abandon ship with competing priorities - no chance. I enjoyed this and was always looking forward to the time I carved out to complete this. Thank you.”
