Greenwashing risks can take several forms, such as hidden trade-offs, baseless claims, and partial truths. Recent cases have been filed against Coca-Cola by a proposed class of consumers and the Sierra Club alleging that the "100% recyclable" labels on the company's plastic water bottles violate false advertising and consumer protection laws.

I was pleasantly surprised. Assessing ESG Litigation was very interesting. Often, an audience is subjected to a preachy kind of narrative, devoid of balanced viewpoints. Nothing could be further from the truth. Mr. Henriques was very professional, informative, and devoid of agenda. His information was first rate. He was clear and concise in his recommendations and war-stories. I would whole-heartedly recommend his presentation to my fellow CPA's. Mr. Henriques did excellent job. Thank you.
