ESG & Greenwashing – Case Study Approach

Background

Greenwashing is a deceptive practice where companies present themselves as environmentally responsible without substantiating their claims. This study will explore whether Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks effectively prevent greenwashing. By evaluating how ESG standards are implemented across different companies and industries, the project will assess the effectiveness of these criteria in curbing misleading environmental claims and promoting genuine sustainability efforts.

Learning Outcome (LO)

  • LO1: Understand the relationship between ESG practices and greenwashing, and the role of ESG frameworks in promoting sustainable business practices.
  • LO2: Develop an ability to critically assess corporate sustainability reports and evaluate their alignment with genuine ESG criteria.
