Abstract

Nowadays we are bombarded with information about the threat of climate change and how companies are the agents that cause the greatest impact on the environment. The pressure to develop communication outputs that convey the adoption of sustainable practices and socially acceptable practices, aimed at the wellbeing of the community, is notorious. In this article an approach is made to the companies´ strategies in communicating environment-related aspects, the way green thinking is embraced, as well as the need for organizations to make the environment part of their DNA. Therefore, it will be possible to verify the veracity of the aspects communicated by the companies.
