Conservation International is embroiled in a devastating scandal over the greenwashing services it offered to undercover British journalists posing as Lockheed Martin employees looking for help sanitizing the public image of the leading arms dealerโ€™s deadly weapons systems.ย 

The journalists from London-based outlet Donโ€™t Panic approached Conservation International (CI) with a truly outrageous request for its greenwashing services. In the video below, youโ€™ll learn from their undercover footage of meetings with a senior CI representative that CI was more than ready to help โ€œLockheedโ€ develop a program to greenwash its image, and the examples of what the CI rep dangled in front of the prospective clients must be seen to beย believed.

Watch below:

Weโ€™ve written extensively at DeSmogBlog over the years about greenwashing, but rarely has such a blatant greenwash operation been exposed like this one.
