environmental credentials of a person, a product or an organization when these are unfounded or
irrelevant

2Greenwash is an environmental claim
which is unsubstantiated (a fib) or irrelevant (a distraction)

3 It’s greenwashing when a company or organization spends
more time and money claiming to be “green” through advertising and marketing than actually implementing
business practices that minimize environmental impact.

There is greenwashing, because
we’ve passed a tipping point.
Which is good

The risk is that same can happen with greenvertising. Sometimes wecannot blame ourselves
Making things look nice is our nature

• More complaints against advertising
• Undermining confidence in advertising
• Sabotage of environmental movement in business

You don’t want this kind of circus
on your doorstep
![Page 25: Presentation Greenwashing](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5552cdefb4c905920f8b5243/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

2 ways you can avoid greenwashing
![Page 27: Presentation Greenwashing](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5552cdefb4c905920f8b5243/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
1Stick to the MAIN PRINCIPLE of Greenvertising:
“Green Marketing is not about making
normal things seem green (greenwashing),
it is about making green stuff seem normal”
![Page 28: Presentation Greenwashing](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5552cdefb4c905920f8b5243/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

2Be aware of the
“seven sins of Greenwashing”:
![Page 30: Presentation Greenwashing](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5552cdefb4c905920f8b5243/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Cut out and keep
1.The sin of suggestive pictures
2.The sin of the hidden trade off
3.The sin of no proof
4.The sin of vagueness
5.The sin of irrelevance
6.The sin of lesser of two evils
7.The sin of fibbing
![Page 31: Presentation Greenwashing](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5552cdefb4c905920f8b5243/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
1The sin of suggestive pictures:
Green images that indicate a (un-justified) green impact,
like flowers blooming from exhaust pipes
![Page 32: Presentation Greenwashing](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5552cdefb4c905920f8b5243/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
2 The sin of the hidden trade off:
Suggestion of being Green, based on a single environmental attribute, while
blurring all other parameters which are maybe more important,
like a Hummer that is claiming that it is a Hybrid
![Page 33: Presentation Greenwashing](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5552cdefb4c905920f8b5243/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
3The sin of no proof
Claims that could be right, but are not supported by any evidence, or by any reliable third-
party certification,
like Household lamps that promote their energy efficiency without any supporting figures or certification.
![Page 34: Presentation Greenwashing](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5552cdefb4c905920f8b5243/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
4 The sin of vagueness
Claims that are expressed with fluffy language with no clear meaning ,
like ‘planet-friendly’ packaging
![Page 35: Presentation Greenwashing](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5552cdefb4c905920f8b5243/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
5 The sin of irrelevance
environmental claims that are redundantand unimportant for customers
seeking environmentally preferable products. It
is irrelevant and therefore distracts the
consumer from finding a truly greener option.
Like ‘unleaded fuel (all fuel in Europe is unleaded
…
![Page 36: Presentation Greenwashing](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5552cdefb4c905920f8b5243/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
6The sin of lesser of two evils
These are “green” claims that may be true within
the product category, but that risk
distracting the consumer from the greater
Health- or other negative
impacts of the category as a whole
Like organic cigarettes
![Page 37: Presentation Greenwashing](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5552cdefb4c905920f8b5243/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
7The sin of fibbing
out-right lying, and produce
totally fabricated claims or data
Like driving climate neutral
![Page 38: Presentation Greenwashing](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5552cdefb4c905920f8b5243/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
