The Climate Greenwash Awards 2009 are organised by Corporate Europe Observatory, Attac Denmark, The Climate Movement, ClimaX and Friends of the Earth Denmark to challenge the corporate capture of the UN climate talks.

Big business is keen to be part of the climate solution – and is holding its own Business Summit in Copenhagen from 24th - 26th May. The Danish government is facilitating the event. Several big carbon emitters are involved. Does big business have the real solutions to the climate crisis? Or are they trying to look green while polluting as usual?

An internet vote will decide which company has been making the most outrageous claims to be green ahead of this year’s crucial UN climate talks in Copenhagen. Cast your vote to decide which of the six nominated companies should win the Climate Greenwash Award.

The nominated companies are ArcelorMittal, BP, DONG Energy, Repsol, Shell and Vattenfall.
