✈ The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has taken action against a Virgin Atlantic radio advertisement from November, which promoted the airline’s Flight 100 from London Heathrow to JFK. The ad claimed it would be "the world’s first commercial airline to fly transatlantic on 100% sustainable aviation fuel" 🚨 The ASA found that the environmental benefits of SAF were overstated and the claims were not sufficiently substantiated, leading to the ad being banned. 🧠 As we push for more sustainable solutions, it’s essential that our claims are backed by solid evidence. Effective climate action requires not just innovation, but also honesty and accountability. 🌍 With the increasing importance of sustainable practices, travel policies are key to reducing an organisation's carbon footprint, especially in industries heavily reliant on air travel. Climate Action for Associations offers members a low carbon travel policy template aimed at helping organisations lower their environmental impact. By adopting a low-carbon travel policy, associations can substantially reduce emissions from air travel - aiding the aviation sector's decarbonisation efforts. 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ef6g6NRR #Advertising #ClimateAction #ClimatActionForAssociations #Sustainability #Aviation #Marketing #Transparency

‘‘The data shows two clear options – we can do nothing, which will lock in more extreme weather events in the future, or we can reduce emissions now to play our part in limiting the damage.’’ This story is about NSW. It's hard to imagine a comparable story making it to the pages of The West. But it should. Climate experts, it would be so useful to see your WA version of some of these stats and forecasts in the comments. As the story is behind a paywall, I'll add screenshots in the comments too. https://lnkd.in/gn9yrQ4C

Companies with strong climate strategies are likely to attract more capital and achieve long-term financial success. 💡 The message is clear: Climate action isn't just a social responsibility; it's essential for long-term success. Financial institutions that can navigate this complex landscape are poised to become industry leaders.
