English to German translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Advertising / Public Relations / Public relations | | English term or phrase: greenwash | Exxonese, taken from questions on and answers to a "Corporate Citizenship Report":
"Your report presents Exxon Mobil's CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activity as "business as usual", rather than a direct commitment to new practice. Some in Europe would even term it "greenwash". Is this true?"
This is clearly derived from "whitewashing". Does anyone know whether there's a German equivalent? |

| Grading comment Thanks to all of you for your excellent suggestions, this just about takes it over the others. I'll change it slightly to "Grünfärberei" (as a noun)
