Recognizing Greenwashing, Communicating Credibly

“Sustainable”, “fairly produced”, “climate-neutral”: We encounter terms like these on a daily basis when dealing with textiles – whether on labels, websites or in product catalogs. But how much truth is really behind it?

In our next webinar “Recognizing Greenwashing, Communicating Credibly: Sustainability Promises Under the Microscope” from the series FairWearWorks goes digital, we will explore the question of where greenwashing and social washing begin in the textile sector – and how sustainability can be communicated credibly.

On December 9, 2025, we cordially invite you from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. to discuss legal and communicative pitfalls relating to sustainability statements in the field of textiles together with Tanita Hecking, sustainability expert and co-founder of the anti-greenwashing newsletter The Crisps.

We shed light on how greenwashing can be legally punished and where the current limits lie, which sustainability statements are problematic – and how companies can communicate transparently and credibly instead. We also show how social washing can be recognized.
