Case studies in the rise of ESG disputes: Greenwashing and social washing in focus

This week, it was announced that the Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC), together with four consumers, is filing a lawsuit against clothing brand Levi Strauss (Levi's). The case revolves around alleged misleading sustainability claims and labour rights violations at a factory in Turkey where Levi's manufactures. More than 400 workers lost their jobs there after striking for better working conditions and joining a trade union. Hundreds of workers are still awaiting compensation.
