Green wash·
(gr n'w sh',ē ŏ
-wôsh')
“verb: the act of misleading consumers
regarding practices of a company or the
environmental benefits of a product or
service.”
116. 116
1Greenwash is misleading the public by
stressing environmental credentials of a
person, a product or an organization
when these are unfounded or irrelevant
117. 117
2Greenwash is an environmental
claim which is unsubstantiated (a fib)
or irrelevant (a distraction)
118. 118
3It’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.

127. • More complaints
• Undermining
confidence in
advertising
• Sabotage of
environmental
movement in business
• Bad press attention
It depends on how you look at it,
But reasons are positive
129. 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
131. 1
The sin of suggestive pictures:
Green images
that indicate a
(un-justified)
green impact
132. 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
133. 3
The 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.
134. 4
The sin of vagueness
Claims that are
expressed with fluffy
language with no
clear meaning ,
like ‘planet-friendly’
packaging
135. 5
The sin of irrelevance
environmental claims that are redundant and
unimportant for customers
seeking environmentally preferable products.
136. 6
The 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
137. 7
The sin of fibbing
out-right lying, and
produce
totally fabricated claims or
data
Like driving climate neutral
Misleiden van publiek betreffende de praktijken van een bedrijf of de eco-benefits van haar product of service.
Greenwashing = het misleiden van het publiek/ je doelgroep door groene claims te communiceren rond een persoon, een product of een organisatie die ongegrond of irrelevant zijn.
Nu dat kan korter... En concreter...
Greenwashing is groene claims malen die je niet kan hard maken (leugens?) of die irrelevant zijn (de aandacht afleiden van het werkelijke, total, totale verhaal)
Praktischer? Of zelfs... Meetbaar?
Ik weet niet of we dit moeten onderschrijven, en ik wil het hier vandaag eerder over communicatie hebben, maar dit is niet minder interessant...
Een bedrijf doet aan Greenwashing, wanneer een organsiatie meer middelen spendeert aan de marketing rond groene claims dan in het werkelijk implementeren van inspanningen om hun impact op het milieu te beperken.
Door een groeiend draagvlak in de markt zijn allerlei producten met dit soort labels en ethische claims gaan deeluit maken van het aanbod.
En dit is de afgelopen pakweg 10 jaar blijven groeien, en niet alleen in food en fast movers, ook in kleding, auto’s, lifestyle, cosmetica,
interieur, reizen, vrije tijd enz...
In de eerste plaats, zal de rayonverantwoordelijke je kunnen vertellen hoe een gestage groei producten hebben gemaakt die naast
Het uitdragen van consumer benefits: vers, lekker, light, minder vet, witter-dan-wit, klaar in vijf minuten, ... ook ethische of duurzame claims maken
Het eerste is een soort “Big Picture-principe” als je dit begrijpt en naleeft kan er eigenlijk al niet al te veel fout gaan.
Household lamps and lights that promote their energy efficiency without any supporting evidence or certification.
Personal care products (such as shampoos and conditioners) that claim not to have been tested on animals, but offer no evidence or certification of this claim
“Chemical-free”. In fact, nothing is free of chemicals. Water is a chemical. All plants, animals, and humans are made of chemicals as are all of our products
VISA Green Card: it is vague to the customer how using their GreenCard contributes to a better environment: We contribute to ‘Green Projects’ (what? How much? How?)
The mention of Unleaded: Hardly all fuel in Europe is unleaded.
CFC-free shaving gels, CFC-free oven cleaners, … CFK-free fridges, …
Green pesticides, organic cigarettes
The suggestion of “green cars”. Green cars do not exist. In the best case, today some manufacturers offer “less pollution cars”.
Shell claiming eco-friendliness due to one activity (capturing CO² for
agriculture), while others still are very polluting.
Exxon Mobile reporting to have reduced its emissions, while their emissions have
been raised.
“With Daihatsu, you drive climate-neutral” is not true, they only offset yourdriving in the very first year. On top of that the eco-footprint of manufacturing is not included.
