Abstract

The Central Consumer Protection Authority in India has recently released draft guidelines to address the issue of greenwashing by corporations. This paper closely examines these guidelines and how they might impact the deceptive environmental practices of some companies. The study contributes to the ongoing discussion about corporate responsibility in India, highlighting the role of regulations in tackling greenwashing and promoting consumer trust. The authors critically comment on the shortcomings of the guidelines, while suggesting recommendations for resolving the same.
