Asia grapples with greenwash
This podcast series explores greenwash, an underreported issue that is rapidly evolving in Asia. As new forms of greenwashing emerge, how are regulators in the region navigating them? What is stopping us from tackling greenwash effectively?
Japan-based academic Kim Schumacher, who coined the term "competence greenwashing", believes that the pursuit of societal harmony might be standing in the way of Asia calling out greenwashing. He tells the Eco-Business Podcast how exaggerated ESG claims are likely to be tackled in 2023 and beyond.
Former Monetary Authority of Singapore sustainability chief Darian McBain and recruiter Paddy Balfour tell the Eco-Business podcast why people are exaggerating their ESG expertise and why that's a problem in a key region for sustainable development.
