Excerpt - ​EAC Interview 2 - Greenwashing

While the Ethical Advisers Co-op has been a powerful voice for investors, calling out greenwashing where they encounter it, it has also been important to see strong action taken by the industry regulator, the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). Including against a powerful global investment manager.
