From www.accountantsdaily.com.au: A civil lawsuit from the advocacy group Parents for Climate against Energy Australia highlights flaws in the government’s Climate Active certification scheme, accusing the company of misleadingly marketing its ‘Go Neutral’ product as carbon neutral.
The suit argues that reliance on carbon offsets does not effectively counterbalance emissions produced from fossil fuels and calls for an investigation into the certification scheme for potential conflicts of interest and compliance failures.
In response, Energy Australia plans to discontinue the ‘Go Neutral’ product as it reassesses its emissions reduction strategy.
