Let’s hope so. But working in climate communications, I’m very sceptical.
I think most companies will simply keep greenhushing instead.

‘Greenhushing’ is a trend that leaves businesses downplaying their environmental wins
Why? Fear of backlash, greenwashing claims, or just not knowing how to talk about it
Greenwashing in reverse? Maybe
But one thing’s clear: silence isn’t sustainable

Greenhushing is killing us: why companies must break their silence on climate change
Will 2026 be the year we look back at and say “that was the year the climate emergency really started”? We have certainly had many crises over the past few years as global temperatures have risen. But the protracted weather extremes experienced globally, in Europe, North America, and across Asia, make this year feel different.

From greenhushing to greendumping: @joeloclimate.bsky.social reports that funds are simply dropping green-sounding terminology so they can continue investing in fossil fuels under EU rules.
The EU just told finance companies they can't call their funds "sustainable" if they're invested in fossil fuels.
So companies got rid of fossil fuels from some funds. But for others, they just dropped words like "sustainable" from the name.

As EU enacts new greenwash rules, funds remove climate labels
By removing words like "ESG" and "sustainable" from their names, funds can keep investing in fossil fuels despite the EU greenwash rules

One premise of the recent reactionary backlash is that libs have taken over major institutions like Big Business & rendered them woke.
The fact that businesses are jettisoning their climate commitments at the first sign of political pressure should tell you how deep those sentiments run.

A new term: greenhushing. Instead of ‘greenwashing’ many of the world’s largest companies are now hiding their decarbonisation efforts. A recent survey of around 4,000 firms has shown that 16% have dialled back their goals, while 84% have maintained or raised them. buff.ly/vOitgCT

Weeks into Trump II, companies are talking up the jobs they create, the costs they cut--anything but how they're helping the climate. “This isn’t a good time to put a red flag in front of the bull," says one CEO.
