The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has filed a lawsuit against Tyson Foods, alleging that the company is misleading consumers about its 'climate-smart beef' claims and its commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The lawsuit, filed in D.C. Superior Court, asserts that Tyson has no legitimate plan to reduce its significant emissions, which exceed those of entire countries like Austria and Greece. EWG highlights that Tyson's spending on greenhouse gas reduction is less than 0.1% of its 2022 revenue of over $53 billion, while the company extensively markets its sustainability efforts. The lawsuit seeks to halt Tyson's misleading marketing practices and demands accountability under the District of Columbia Consumer Protection Procedures Act. Tyson's beef production reportedly accounts for 85% of its total emissions, raising concerns about the environmental impact of industrial meat production. EWG argues that Tyson's claims exploit consumer interest in climate-friendly products without substantiating their effectiveness.
