hi my name is Sarah light I'm an
00:00:02
associate professor of legal studies and
00:00:04
business ethics at the Wharton School
00:00:06
and my research focuses on the
00:00:07
intersection of businesses and the
00:00:10
climate and the environment I have
00:00:12
recently been focusing on green washing
00:00:15
which is the art of misleading the
00:00:18
public about the environmental impact or
00:00:21
qualities of a firm's product services
00:00:23
or indeed The Firm itself I have been
00:00:26
focusing on the ways in which public
00:00:30
Regulators like the Federal Trade
00:00:31
Commission and the Securities and
00:00:33
Exchange Commission can address the
00:00:35
problems of greenwashing either through
00:00:38
litigation after the fact or by
00:00:40
requiring upfront disclosures
