Update – May 2025: We’ve achieved a major win. EnergyAustralia has agreed to settle our landmark greenwashing case and has publicly admitted to the key facts about their misleading marketing claims. This is a huge win for parent power—and a warning shot to other polluters misleading the public. 

 

Greenwashing by energy companies deceives consumers and distorts the energy market against clean renewable energy - it has got to stop.

As parents committed to a safe climate for our children, we strive to make responsible choices. However, companies like EnergyAustralia have made this challenging by falsely marketing polluting products as ‘carbon neutral’.

In a landmark development, our legal action led to a settlement where EnergyAustralia publicly admitted that carbon offsets do not prevent or undo the harms caused by burning fossil fuels. They have ceased offering their 'Go Neutral' product to new customers and removed related marketing from their website.

This is a significant victory against greenwashing, demonstrating the power of parent-led action. - but we need your help to keep up the pressure. Join us as we fight for honest climate claims, consumer protection, and a future free from fossil fuel spin.
