Abstract

Greenwashing is currently a global problem masquerading as social responsibility and Green Marketing. Greenwashing is not only considered a crime, but also has other consequences, but due to consumer misinformation this problem remains camouflaged.

In this article, I discuss the difference between what is truly green, sustainable, and Greenwashing, I explain what Greenwashing consists of and how it impacts the consumer and what are the consequences of this practice for companies. With this article, I aim to bring relevance and awareness to the subject, besides demonstrating how this problem affects us as consumers.
