The Negative Impacts of Greenhushing on Advancing ESG | ESG Decoded Podcast #142

Join host Amanda Hsieh and Caroline Kelleher, Senior Associate of Sustainability, Policy & Advisory, to discuss the concept of "greenhushing."

You may have heard of greenwashing, but there's a newer term you need to know. Greenhushing is when companies actually take significant actions to help the environment, but then under-communicate or downplay those efforts. They stay quiet about the positive things they're doing. 

How does this hurt the overall fight against climate change?

Be sure to stay engaged until the end, as hosts Amanda Hsieh and Erika Schiller announce Kaitlyn Allen's career transition to focus on her sustainable fashion start-up, MendIt. MendIt tackles textile waste with an easy to use app that connects users with professionals specializing in mending and repairing clothing.

The ESG Decoded team and listeners will miss Kaitlyn dearly. We look forward to following her continued success and contributions to sustainability through MendIt.
