Green Marketing and Anti-Greenwashing Compliance

African consumers and regulators are becoming quick to challenge vague or exaggerated environmental claims, and greenwashing now carries real reputational and legal risk. This course helps marketing, sustainability and compliance teams make honest, substantiated green claims that build trust rather than invite backlash. Delegates learn to test claims against evidence and emerging disclosure expectations.
