It examines the factors influencing these practices and explores their connection to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies, through the use of operations research methods. ESG investors thoroughly evaluate a company's environmental, social, and governance factors before investing, reflecting the growing global emphasis on sustainability. As climate change risks rise and sustainability becomes more important, many organizations have begun to adapt, though some resort to greenwashing, misleadingly presenting their practices as eco-friendly despite ongoing harmful activities. This book offers a thorough examination of the strategies used by financial institutions, such as greenwashing, bluewashing, social washing, and pinkwashing. It aims to address corporate washing by highlighting its various forms within the financial sector, providing policymakers and stakeholders with insights to develop effective strategies and practices to counteract these deceptive practices.Management for Professionals,2192-810XOperations researchIndustrial managementEnvironmental aspectsBusiness enterprisesFinanceSustainabilityFinancial risk managementOperations Research and Decision TheoryCorporate Environmental ManagementCorporate FinanceSustainabilityRisk ManagementOperations research.Industrial managementEnvironmental aspects.Business enterprisesFinance.Sustainability.Financial risk management.Operations Research and Decision Theory.Corporate Environmental Management.Corporate Finance.Sustainability.Risk Management.658.403Ragazou Konstantina1781286Zopounidis Constantin732748Galariotis Emilios1836613Sariannidis Nikolaos1781288Zournatzidou Georgia1836614MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9911018744003321Transparency and Corporate Washing in the Age of Sustainability4414815UNINA
