Greenwashing Tactics

When companies exaggerate or present false statements about their environmental practices or sustainability efforts, this is called greenwashing (1,2).

Here are 3 greenwashing tactics used by big oil and gas corporations to appear supportive of climate action, while in reality justifying the expansion and continued extraction of fossil fuels (3,4,5):

• Use words like “natural” to describe fossil fuels.
• Create “certified gas” programs.
• Evoke images of nature in marketing campaigns

These are just a few examples of the industry’s vast repertoire of greenwashing tactics. By obscuring their true environmental impacts, oil and gas companies delay and distract us from concrete climate solutions (1,2).
