ABC都是怎么回事

NO.PZ2024021801000002

问题如下:

Companies stating that they are taking positive action in one ESG area while negatively contributing to another is a practice called:

选项:

A.greenhushing. B.scopewashing. C.competence greenwashing.

解释:

A is incorrect because uncertainty over what does or doesn’t qualify as green creates a phenomenon of ‘greenhushing,’ where those making good strides towards more sustainable practices are unwilling to reveal as much for fear of retribution or misinterpretation.

B is correct because many companies hide their harmful practices behind more positive ones—for example, providing an incomplete picture of environmental impact by focusing too much on carbon emissions and ignoring other factors such as recyclability and toxicity. Companies stating that they are taking positive action in one area while negatively contributing to another is a practice called scopewashing.

C is incorrect because in the face of growing regulatory and market pressure, companies are contending with ensuring their ESG credentials are fit for purpose. Some boards, executives, and employees use hyperbole to highlight their knowledge, skills, and experience in sustainability—a practice coined by sustainable finance academic Kim Schumacher as "competence greenwashing."

嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:


选项A:Greenhushing

  • 定义:Greenhushing是指企业在可持续发展方面取得良好进展,但由于害怕遭受责难或被误解,而不愿意公开这些信息的现象。
  • 例子:某公司在减少碳排放方面取得了显著成就,但由于担心外界会对其其他尚未完善的环保措施进行批评,因此选择不公开其减排成果。

选项B:Scopewashing

  • 定义:Scopewashing是指企业通过强调其在某些ESG(环境、社会和治理)领域的积极行动,而掩盖其在其他领域的负面影响。例如,企业可能会过度强调其在减少碳排放方面的努力,而忽视其产品的可回收性和毒性等其他环境影响。
  • 例子:某公司宣称其工厂的碳排放量很低,但没有提及其产品使用的有毒材料和对环境的其他危害。

选项C:Competence Greenwashing

  • 定义:Competence Greenwashing是指一些企业董事会、管理层或员工通过夸大自己的知识、技能和在可持续发展方面的经验来迎合市场和监管压力。这一术语由可持续金融学者Kim Schumacher提出。
  • 例子:某公司声称其管理团队在可持续发展方面非常有经验,但实际上他们只是进行了短期培训,并没有实质性的专长。

在本题中,企业在一个ESG领域采取积极行动,同时在另一个领域带来负面影响的行为被称为 scopewashing。因为这种行为是通过强调某些积极行动来掩盖其负面贡献,而不是因为害怕外界批评(greenhushing)或夸大其在可持续发展方面的能力(competence greenwashing)。
