EnergyAustralia Apologizes to Customers After Greenwashing Case

CLP Holdings Ltd.’s EnergyAustralia — one of the nation’s “big three” energy companies — apologized to customers for the marketing of its carbon offsetting products.

The apology was part of a settlement with advocacy organization Parents for Climate, which launched legal action against the power company in mid-2023 claiming that the marketing of its ‘Go Neutral’ carbon offsetting products was misleading. EnergyAustralia also acknowledged that offsets do not undo the harms of burning fossil fuels.
