Six greenwashing sins companies should avoid according to Greenbiz:
- Sin of the hidden trade-off …
by, for example, mentioning paper is recycled without disclosing
the environmental costs of producing the product;
- Sin of no proof …
by failing to provide easily accessible evidence that a product is green;
- Sin of vagueness …
by any claim that is so poorly defined or broad that its real meaning is likely
to be misunderstood by the intended consumer, such as chemical free, all natural
- Sin of irrelevance …
claims that may be truthful but are unimportant and unhelpful for consumers,
such as “CFC-free” products, as ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons have been outlawed since the late 1980s;
- Sin of lesser of two evils …
environmental claims that may be true but that risk distracting the consumer from the greater environmental impacts
of the category as a whole, such as organic tobacco or green insecticides
- Sin of fibbing …
claims that are simply false, typically by misusing or misrepresenting
certification by an independent authority when no such certification had been made.
