What is sustainability? How is it related to the concept of greenwashing?
Answer: Sustainability is the ability to meet humanity's needs without harming future generations. It now tops many corporate agendas. Major corporations outline in great detail how they are trying to improve the long-term impact of their actions on communities and the environment.
Heightened interest in sustainability has also unfortunately resulted in greenwashing, which gives products the appearance of being environmentally friendly without living up to that promise.
Because of insincere firms jumping on the green bandwagon, consumers bring a healthy skepticism to environmental claims, but they are also unwilling to sacrifice product performance and quality. Many firms are rising to the challenge and are using the need for sustainability to fuel innovation.
