Consumer Disclosure WG

Apr 20, 2021

Mission

The consumer disclosure working group looks at ways of making customers aware, in a meaningful, understandable way, of the impact they bring about on the environment while going about their daily life.  This could mean for instance, one's impact caused by :

  • the products they choose to buy,
  • the modes of travel they choose
  • the companies they choose to buy from
  • Heating / lighting of their home

The intent is to offer easy information for an individual to be able to see impact / options in order to take informed decisions to take personal action in the reduction of climate impact

As a background the working group continues to build on the good work done by various teams in the Open Climate Project. This WG has a relationship of being a node in the Collabathon.

Example Themes

  • Consumer information in E-commerce journeys
  • The environmental impact of a supply chains for an end consumer
  • Consumer information related to personal mobility
  • Mitigation of one's environmental impact
  • The role of media in disseminating environment related (dis)information e.g. greenwashing by corporations or portraying products to be green by using green backdrops
  • The role of identity in enabling consumer disclosure
