With the enormous former Expo 2020 site given over to green \u2014 and not so green \u2014 companies to trumpet their climate credentials, the private sector has never been embraced so warmly at a climate summit as it has been in the oil-rich city state.<\/p>\n<p>An astonishing 400,000 visitors have registered for day passes to the futuristic jamboree, with stands touting the latest carbon capture tech to a vegetable garden trying to hold up under the desert heat. And that is not counting the 80,000 people accredited to the talks themselves.<br \/>\nCorporate pledges have been coming thick and fast, with Dubai-based Emirate Airlines \u2014 which has its own pavilion \u2014 heralding its first flight with \u201c100 percent sustainable aviation fuel\u201d and BNP Paribas bank saying they were phasing out financing projects related to extracting coking coal.<\/p>\n<p>Others have been more hazy. The public relations teams of big companies feel they have to \u201ccome up with something during COP\u201d, sustainable finance expert Laurent Lascols told AFP. But most of the time they recycle \u201csomething they already have on the go\u201d. But Sanda Ojiambo, assistant secretary-general of UN Global Compact, which tries to spur corporations towards sustainable development, praised the \u201cvery active and dynamic business movement that happens at COP. \u201cAs long as it\u2019s credible and tangible and transparent, I think it really continues to demonstrate forward-looking discussion,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>But only 18 percent of big firms worldwide are cutting emissions \u201cfast enough to reach net zero by 2050\u201d, according to a report last month by consultants Accenture. Another by the Boston Consulting Group found that just 14 percent had reduced their carbon emissions in line with their own ambitions in the past five years \u2014 and only one in 10 measured them precisely. While COP28\u2019s Emirati president Sultan Al Jaber could not be more business friendly, experts say lingering suspicions of conflicts of interest \u2014 Jaber is also CEO of the UAE\u2019s national oil and gas company \u2014 put corporations in a complicated position.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/to-greenwash-or-do-the-right-thing-corporate-dilemmas-at-cop28\/article\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/to-greenwash-or-do-the-right-thing-corporate-dilemmas-at-cop28\/article\">DJ<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/121752\/\">To greenwash or do the right thing?
