Qantas Faces Greenwashing Allegations Over Carbon-Neutral Claims

Environmental groups have filed a complaint with the ACCC, questioning the airline's sustainability claims and carbon offset programs.

Climate Integrity and the Environmental Defenders Office have lodged a complaint against Qantas, alleging misleading sustainability claims.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is urged to investigate Qantas's 'Fly Carbon Neutral' program and its net zero emissions target.
Critics argue that Qantas's reliance on carbon offsets and sustainable aviation fuels lacks credibility and misleads consumers.
Qantas maintains that it is committed to achieving net zero by 2050, despite aviation being a challenging sector to decarbonize.
The complaint follows a similar case in the Netherlands, where KLM was found to have exaggerated its environmental benefits.
