Description

Greenwashing has become the focus of many legal complaints in the last few years and a concern among executives as they try to go about E.S.G. initiatives.

Here, I describe what greenwashing is and why it's a problem. Then I explore its prevalence particularly in the fashion industry before offering what some governments and regulatory agencies are doing to cut back on greenwashing cases. I conclude with my own suggestions on how the U.S. should address the issue here and offer to consumers resources to better inform themselves as we await reform and clarity.
