Edelman, the worlds largest public relations company, has decided not to continue working with certain environmentally unfriendly companies after receiving negative publicity, the Guardian reports.
Edelman was recently criticized for working with fossil fuel companies and fake front groups that supported a Canadian pipeline project. They have since decided to stop working with coal producers, since theyre the biggest contributors to climate change, and groups that try to greenwash the truth and spread misinformation.
Edelman, which grew 8.5% in the 2014-2015 fiscal year according to PR Week, lost a good number of big clients when it made clear its position on climate change. It even became one of the first big firms to implement an internal carbon accounting system and it has worked on multiple global environment campaigns.
However, when asked about other potentially environmentally dangerous clients, Michael Stewart, the president and chief executive in Europe, said, Right now the only categorical exclusion we have is on climate denial and coal.
The company has not stated whether they will exclude companies involved in Arctic drilling, those that fight against carbon pollution regulations, or oil and gas producers.

But they will keep representing muslim terrorists.
“For the love of money is the root of all evil.”
“Evil advances when good men do nothing.”
Isn’t it nice to know that some things never change?
The black list is growing. They seem to forget that the coal industry involves more than just the primary producers..so you can’t really withdraw support without impacting other customers as well.
Who wants a Puerto Rican firm representing you anyway.
(Kidding ...my nieces and nephew are half PR)
“Worlds Largest PR Firm” ?
I’ve never heard of them.
And ones like Al Gore and Neil Young and George Clooney and Leo DeCrapio who make big carbon footprints when flying around the world lecturing about climate change and the evil billionaire class.
I just wonder how many billions and billions of dollars people willing to spend in exchange for having absolutely zero effect on the climate.
RE: Ive never heard of them.
Are you in the PR and advertising business?
They aren’t trying to affect the climate, they are trying to destroy capitalism, and it’s working so well they are taking down free speech and private property with it.
The coal industry should ban them from using their electricity.... *sigh* if only they could.
Looking forward to reading about the new space in their office dedicated to generating electricity through cycling, starting with the CEO on down to the mail room staff...
Money where mouth is.....

They have offices all around the world... but yes, they can start in the USA. New York City will be a great place to start :)
“...has decided not to continue working with certain environmentally REALISTIC companies.,...”
Fixed it.
And, let’s face it, Leftist fantasy is all the rage these days.
Hint:
“Largest” doesn’t mean “Best”.
When the tyranny of the current fascists and liberals is overthrown, we will know that these sycophants are also part of the enemy.
Thanks, guys, for letting us know you oppose freedom of thought for the individual and affordable energy for the masses.
...and the horse you rode in on.
There is your error. The Guardian does not report, it propagandizes.
