The F-List 2024

Australia/NZ

The F-List exposes the marketing and advertising agencies that spin for fossil fuels in a climate crisis.

By highlighting these often-hidden partnerships, the F-List sheds light on how the fossil fuel industry uses PR tactics to downplay environmental impacts and delay climate action.

The creative industries have helped fossil fuels for too long – it’s time to stop the promotion of pollution.

Declare

It's time for communicators to come clean.

I declare my work as a communicator will not support any activities, organisations or individuals that promote:
• the growth of fossil fuels
• the continuation of high greenhouse gas pollution as ‘business as
usual’
• deception, distraction or spin around science or climate actions.
