Oil giant accused of using advertising to ‘greenwash’ massive new investment in fossil fuels

22 December, 2008

Greenpeace representatives in dinner jackets and bow ties were today ejected from BP's London headquarters after attempting to present the British oil giant with the first annual "Emerald Paintbrush" award.

Security guards threw out the smartly dressed protestors after they staged an impromptu awards ceremony in the lobby of the building.

Greenpeace plans to award the new prize each year to any company it deems guilty of hiding its environmental impact with misleading advertising.
