Hello

Greenwash is a threat to the growth of the new
`green pound' with consumers becoming increasingly mistrustful
of green claims. The report, based on primary research, reveals the
following:

* Greenwash is growing: An analysis of ASA claims since 2004,
highlighting that the number of complaints lodged and upheld relating
to environmental or green claims has doubled.
* Only 1 of the top 10 advertising agencies in the UK has a
greenwash policy.
* Simple steps for companies and agencies to avoid greenwash.
* And lots more...

If you'd like to have a chat about the implications of our
findings (We have a great `Greenwash Briefing' presentation
we'd be happy to pop in and give),
please let me know. We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Best,

David
