Description

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.

ESG Decoded is a podcast powered by ClimeCo to share updates related to business innovation and sustainability in a clear and actionable manner. Join Kaitlyn Allen and Amanda Hsieh for thoughtful, nuanced conversations with industry leaders and subject matter experts that explore the complexities about the risks and opportunities connected to (E)nvironmental, (S)ocial and (G)overnance. We like to say that “ESG is everything that’s not on your balance sheet.” This leaves room for misunderstanding and oversimplification – two things that we’ll bust on this podcast.
