Greenwashing is a growing issue, with regulatory bodies looking to impose penalties for future breaches and stricter regulation. How can industry communicate the progress they are making on targets such as reducing emissions or resource usage without falling foul of potential problems? How can a buyer know what different terms mean?
To delve deeper and try to clarify matters, we spoke to Denise Mathieson – senior Manager in Sustainability and External Affairs at circular packaging provider Faerch Group, Chris McDonald – Chief Executive Officer of the UK Materials Processing Institute and Richard Reichman – a lawyer with London-based BCL Solicitors specialising in regulatory investigations, with experience of ESG compliance cases.

In this episode, Colin Church discusses the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) with Anushka Devaser and Gyles Scott-Hayward from WSP. They explain that CBAM is a way to put a fair price on carbon emitted during the production of carbon-intensive goods, with the aim of encouraging cleaner industrial production in non-EU exporting countries and preventing carbon leakage. The EU CBAM covers goods such as steel, aluminium, electricity, iron, cement, fertilizers, and hydrogen. The UK is planning to introduce its own CBAM from 2027 and a consultation is currently running.
