The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
For years, Kenya’s listed companies have filled their annual reports with glossy promises of planting trees, saving water, and going carbon-neutral, claims that investors largely ignored as public relations fluff.
But starting next year, those same claims could land directors in court. New rules criminalise greenwashing when a company fakes its environmental record. This happens, for instance, when a bank claims it is “green” but cannot show how much of its loan book goes to polluters.
