RBC's retreat from climate commitments raises concerns about greenwashing and anti-greenwashing enforcement.
RBC's retreat from climate commitments represents a classic greenwashing pattern where initial bold claims (high C-score of 68) are walked back when accountability arrives. The reversal itself indicates prior claims were likely overstated or unachievable. G-score of 32 reflects financial sector's indirect emissions through lending/investment portfolios rather than direct operations. The C-G gap of +36 strongly indicates corporate claim dominance over environmental reality. High intent score (11/15) driven by timing of reversal, pattern matching classic greenwashing behavior, and lack of third-party verification of original commitments.
