Infographic 3: Professional Dimension
Example 1: Corporate GreenwashingCompanies market products or services as environmentally friendly without meaningful action, Greenwashing exploits consumer interest in sustainability to drive sales while maintaining harmful practices. Misleads stakeholders and sustains unsustainable industries. NGOs have exposed such practices; for instance, fashion brands often mislabel synthetic fibers as eco-friendly despite the high environmental cost.
Example 2: “Carbon Offsetting Equals Carbon Neutrality” Myth Businesses claim carbon neutrality by investing in offset programs while continuing to emit greenhouse gases. Provides a PR advantage while avoiding operational changes to reduce emissions. Fails to address the root cause of emissions and creates an illusion of progress. Experts argue that offsets should complement, not replace, direct emission reductions.
