The Thin Green Line - Sustainability and Greenwashing
In January 2024, the European Parliament passed a directive aimed at making it more difficult for companies to engage in greenwashing. The question remains as to what extent gaps in certification systems can continue to be exploited through clever communication. In this seminar, we will examine the phenomenon of greenwashing.
As a project and practical seminar, the course aims to guides to recognize greenwashing for a target group of the students' choice.
