GREENWASHING HAS NO PLACE IN OUR COMMuNITY EVENTS
Greenwashing should be illegal. Many Australian consumers want to make environmental choices when they buy their everyday products or services, but at the moment, businesses can lie or exaggerate their climate and environmental credentials rather than improving their practices to meet consumer demands.
Adelaide’s government-run sporting event, the Tour Down Under, is sponsored by Santos, a polluting fossil fuel corporation which is actively contributing to climate change. In 2022, Santos ended its sponsorship of the Darwin Festival after calls from the community who were opposed to fossil fuels and fracking, but here in SA, our state government continues to accept their sponsorship.
If the Malinauskus government are serious about reaching Net Zero, they need to end the $100M in fossil fuel subsidies and say no to greenwashing.
We’re calling on the Malinauskus government to fix this and give SANTOS the boot!
We cannot prioritise fossil fuel profits over the safety of our planet and our future.
Join us in calling the Labor Government to:
- Dump Santos - ban fossil fuel companies from sponsoring public events
- Ban Greenwashing - introduce penalties for companies that exaggerate their climate and environmental credentials
Add your name to demand an immediate end fossil fuel sponsorship of South Australian events.
