Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following best describes the term ‘Greenwashing’?
Correct
b) Making an unsubstantiated claim to deceive consumers into believing that a company’s products are environmentally friendly
There is a growing tendency among firms and governments to mark all kinds of activities as climate-friendly, as something that would lead to emissions reduction, or avoidance of emissions. Many of these claims are unverifiable, misleading, or dubious. While they help in boosting the image of the entity, sometimes even helping them garner benefits, they do nothing in the fight against climate change.
Greenwashing presents a false picture of the progress being made on the climate change front, thereby pushing the world towards disaster, while at the same time rewarding entities for irresponsible behaviour.
