According to a study by InfluenceMap, 58% of the world's largest corporations are found to be lobbying against climate policies while publicly claiming to support the Paris Climate Agreement.
Companies identified as the most at risk for greenwashing include Chevron, Delta Air Lines, ExxonMobil, Stellantis, Southern Company, Nippon Steel Corp., and Duke Energy.
More than 21% of applicable companies were at significant risk of greenwashing, while 36.5% were seen as moderate risks.
Despite their climate commitments, companies like Chevron and Duke Energy were found to be lobbying against aggressive climate action.
The study comes less than two weeks before the start of the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, where European Union leaders plan to put pressure on the international community to adopt strict new policies to reduce methane emissions.
