Health check

Greenwashing health check

Greenwashing is not a new source of legal risk but increased regulatory scrutiny, elevated penalties and fast evolving societal expectations mean avoiding it is more important than ever. MinterEllison's Greenwashing Health Check provides clear guardrails for ESG claims and promotions. Using a hybrid legal-consulting approach, we undertake a review of marketing materials to ascertain whether claims are potentially misleading or deceptive, and consider the policies, process and procedures for bringing the product claims as well as identifying areas for improvement and uplift.

Our comprehensive seven-step approach

Our multidisciplinary team conducts an exhaustive review using our seven-step approach to identify, manage and mitigate greenwashing risk specific to your organisation’s industry, products and unique operating context.
