The authors examines the external (both institutional and market), organizational, and individual drivers of greenwashing and offers recommendations for managers, policymakers, and NGOs to decrease its prevalence, and suggests that greenwashing can have profound negative effects on consumer and investor confidence in green products.Abstract:

This article examines the external (both institutional and market), organizational and individual drivers of greenwashing and offers recommendations for managers, policymakers, and NGOs to decrease its prevalence.read more
