TOPICAL COLLECTION: Greenwashing in Corporate Sustainability Reporting: Towards Successful Environmental Sustainability Management
Greenwashing in sustainability reporting and environmental claims refers to the practice of making false or exaggerated claims about a company's environmental performance or practices in order to portray the company as environmentally responsible or sustainable. This misleading communication can take many forms, such as using ambiguous or vague language, making unsubstantiated claims, or emphasizing minor environmental initiatives while ignoring larger, more significant environmental issues (Fuller, 1999; He et al., 2019). This special issue aims to advance our understanding of greenwashing in corporate sustainability reporting and contribute to the ongoing debate on the role of companies in promoting environmental sustainability.
