Official Statement: Emmanuele "EM314" Macaluso against greenwashing

What EM314 has published on its official social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Linkedin) against greenwashing today is a clear and unrepeatable stance.

An official statement made after the athlete has been warned of improper communication practices by self-styled athletes who use "care for the environment" as a mere action of personal branding and marketing positioning.

Care for the environment that would not have led to the implementation of statements sent to the press or published on social channels by the subjects and that distances itself from the related communication campaigns.

Emmanuele Macaluso, who is also an expert in the first hour of marketing (author in 2011 of The Manifesto of Ethical Marketing) and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) following reports and checks, has actually seen "important greenwashing actions" implemented to give the protagonists a "painted green".

EM314 therefore wanted to mark the distance and the difference from this kind of behavior and his vision of social and enviromental sustainability.
