The lack of a shared, operant definition for greenwashing has led to fragmented scholarly research, unclear guidelines for practice, inconsistent enforcement, and reactive policy frameworks, resulting in ineffective efforts to combat its growth. With the aim to prevent the further spread of greenwashing, the flowchart can distinguish similar but often conflated concepts from greenwashing. This can then help to organize accurate conversations, support investigations, categorize research, provide guidelines for practitioners, and support regulators’ case analysis.

After reviewing this article, I believe it would be helpful to add a section on the types of greenwashing. This could help readers to have a clearer understanding of the topic and the different ways greenwashing is practiced. Additionally, a section discussing Corporate Social Responsibility and how companies that engage in greenwashing often fail to meet genuine CSR standards could expand on the understanding of the broader ethical and business context.Mf200304 (talk)15:25, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I would really like to add it myself but I'm not sure whether that'd be appropriate. We could add SOCAR (State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic) Redirecting potential sponsors for COP29 (presided by Azerbaijan) to SOCAR which is an oil company.
