This partnership helps companies steer clear of greenwashing by grounding their environmental claims in evidence and accountability, echoing Futureproof’s ethos.

Impact on Industry and Customer Engagement

Futureproof’s alignment with the Charter sends a strong message to the industry about the importance of authenticity in sustainability. Skirrow emphasizes the need for robust evidence to support sustainability claims, reflecting a proactive approach to avoiding greenwashing:

“Anyone with a keyboard has the ability to accuse you of greenwashing, so don’t worry about that, the important thing is backing up everything you say with clear, robust evidence.”

It not only supports companies in achieving their sustainability goals but also ensures that their efforts are communicated transparently and accurately.
