Woke-washing, The Indigenous Voice to Parliament & Instagram Threads

Claire and Zoe discuss how large corporations such as BHP, Coles, Woolworths, and the Big Four banks, leverage ESG scores issued by rating agencies to boost their reputation, despite their involvement in wage theft scandals, underpaying workers, and breaching laws. This practice of investing in ESG to deflect attention from controversies is known as 'wokewashing'. A recent example of this is them getting behind the Yes campaign regarding the Voice to Parliament, a proposed advisory body in Australia that would provide a formal role for Indigenous Australians to give advice and input into matters of legislation and policy that impact them. Claire and Zoe also discuss the new Instagram Threads application. Keywords: ESG initiatives, wokewashing, corporate scandals, social justice, green technology, diversity and inclusion, World Economic Forum, Australian corporations, BHP, Coles, Woolworths, Big Four banks, voice referendum, LGBTQ+ festivals, business practices, government, unions, media, academia, non-profit sectors.
