Abstract

As environmental problems such as climate and resource depletion are seriously occurring worldwide, the climate crisis and environmental problems are drawing attention throughout society. Reflecting this reality, an increasing number of ESG management companies are promoting environmentally friendly products and conducting eco-friendly marketing to secure corporate competitiveness. Unfortunately, however, greenwashing marketing by companies that exploit society's preference for eco-friendly companies is also rapidly increasing. Greenwashing refers to camouflage environmentalism that is not actually environmentally friendly but appears to be environmentally friendly. Through this review, we will find out the beginning and meaning of greenwashing and try to explain the seriousness of greenwashing through cases of greenwashing that occurred in the aspects of the country, companies, and consumers. The trend of global regulation on greenwashing was examined, and through this, policy measures to suppress greenwashing were presented.
