Webinar Overview:
As corporations increasingly use green claims to boost their sales , the risk of greenwashing — false or misleading representations about climate and environmental performance — has never been higher. Recent amendments to Canada’s Competition Act introduce impactful and controversial new legal tools to hold companies accountable for deceptive environmental messaging. This webinar will explore what these new provisions mean, how they can be used to challenge misleading claims, and why confronting greenwashing is critical to climate justice and public trust. Participants will gain insight into the legal mechanics of the updated Competition Act, enforcement options, and real-world implications for their own climate advocacy.
