If you’re a creator or influencer who agrees that the oil and gas industry’s top PR firm should not be in charge at the COP, shoot us a DM to join the letter - we’ll be sharing with reporters tomorrow.

🌎 Why are influencers so important in this conversation? 🌍

The creators and influencers who signed this letter are a vital part of the communication ecosystem around the COP. They’re the people that agencies like Edelman rely on to promote their clients and what's happening at COP.
November 10, 2025 at 5:27 PM
➡️ Leadership overlap makes the situation even worse. Key Edelman executive Ana Julião is overseeing comms for both COP30 and Shell effectively helping script the climate conversation while advocating for an oil major.
🚨That’s not “experience.” It’s institutionalized bias.
November 10, 2025 at 5:27 PM
➡️ Edelman is Shell’s agency of record while leading communications for the UN climate talks. The same firm is shaping messages about solving the climate crisis.
🚨You can’t serve the public good and the polluter playbook at the same time.
November 10, 2025 at 5:27 PM
As COP30 begins today, Clean Creatives is releasing an open letter from influencers and creators with a combined audience of over 24 million, urging the UN and COP30 to pause new work with Edelman due to conflicts of interest. What’s the conflict?

We believe there’s a strategic framework for agencies to achieve a fossil fuel free future, and now’s the time to lean into a more sustainable future. Our Off Ramp Report outlines exactly how.
October 3, 2025 at 6:30 PM
⚠️ Agencies like Havas, Edelman, and FTI Consulting are already paying steep costs including lost certifications, reputational fallouts, and dropped clients.

⚡ Renewables attracted $2T in 2024, making clean energy the fastest-growing sector in history.

Here are some highlights ⬇️

💰 Fossil fuel companies represent <0.7% of global ad spend, yet come with HUGE outsized risks.

For years, agencies have said they can’t afford to walk away from fossil fuel contracts. The truth? No one knew just how much those contracts were really worth, so we did the research 👉 Enter: The Off Ramp Report and our FFIRE Index🔥

And let us know if you saw any of our receipts in the wild.

The response to this year’s launch has been incredible - thank you to everyone who joined the conversation.
October 1, 2025 at 4:14 PM
This year’s F-List was our longest yet: 1,217 fossil fuel contracts across 709 Advertising and PR agencies. To bring that reality into focus, we put our actual receipts up across New York City. Take a look 👀👇
