Synopsis:

In today's climate crisis, multinational corporations often tout their commitment to "carbon neutrality," raising questions about the authenticity of their claims. Is 'net zero' achievement legitimate or merely greenwashing?

This selected film delves into the pressing issue of greenwashing, prompting essential dialogue about the accountability of transnational corporations and the vital role of consumers in addressing this challenge. Join us for the roundtable discussion to explore these critical issues further.
