This project aims to link sustainability reporting, greenwashing risk detection, and governance. It transforms business education by integrating greenwashing detection models into curricula, targeting energy-intensive industries and capital markets.
Climate-Related Hazards Addressed:
Multi-hazard
Impact on climate change
Problems Solved:
Identifying gaps in ESG and non-financial reporting related to greenwashing risks and environmental protection.
Developing an innovative methodology to measure greenwashing risk using advanced textual analysis techniques.
This innovation addresses the crucial need for accurate and reliable ESG reporting by identifying and mitigating greenwashing risks. It enhances transparency and accountability in sustainability practices, ensuring that companies' environmental claims are genuine and impactful. The project also aims to refine governance structures to better align with true environmental protection goals.

This project aims to develop linkages among sustainability reporting, greenwashing risk, greenwashing detection and governance. Global sustainability challenges facing the world in the 21st century are transforming the business ecosystem, as well as the level and quality of information available to professionals making business decisions. Sustainability has, thus, emerged as a global imperative, changing the business landscape and transforming the role of the managers, also highlighting a need to facilitate the development of graduates that are well equipped for the future. In an effort to answer increasing pressure for sustainability disclosure, progress on behalf of companies remains uneven, with the level and quality of information varying significantly across sectors and geographies. The more serious threat is that such lack of uniformity can increase the risk of greenwashing. This project proposal has four main objectives: First, through this project we will be able to identify and learn how sustainable investments/information is communicated and/or officially reported, to identify and appropriately measure the level of greenwashing risk. The new measure will be introduced in this study, called Greenwashing Profile (GWP), will be measured using textual approach through both the 10K files of the sample firms and relevant information on the web. Then we will examine whether the degree of greenwashing (GWP) used by corporations causes more information noise in the communication between firms and stakeholders. Finally, we will examine whether and how firms’ corporate governance mechanisms are able to mitigate the impact of greenwashing. For this test we will espouse a battery of corporate gov
It is an independent project that will be developed through this project.
Since the model is based on textual analysis of 10K forms it is limited by public firms with financial disclosures. A 10-K is a comprehensive report filed annually by a publicly-traded company about its financial performance and is required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
