Santos says the alleged greenwashing case against it represents a “biased retelling” of the company’s net zero roadmap and climate reports.

Neil Young KC, representing Santos, presented the company’s closing arguments in the federal court on Tuesday, in response to allegations of greenwashing by the Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility (ACCR).
