Activists mounting one of the world’s first legal challenges over corporate greenwashing have expanded a case against gas producer Santos Ltd., raising fresh allegations about the company’s climate plans.
A suit filed against the oil and gas producer is the first time a major company has been challenged over the detail of emissions reduction targets, according to the Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility, the shareholder activist group that launched the action last year.
