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. 410 0$aManagement for Professionals,$x2192-810X 606 $aOperations research 606 $aIndustrial management$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aBusiness enterprises$xFinance 606 $aSustainability 606 $aFinancial risk management 606 $aOperations Research and Decision Theory 606 $aCorporate Environmental Management 606 $aCorporate Finance 606 $aSustainability 606 $aRisk Management 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aIndustrial management$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aBusiness enterprises$xFinance. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aFinancial risk management. 615 14$aOperations Research and Decision Theory. 615 24$aCorporate Environmental Management. 615 24$aCorporate Finance. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aRisk Management. 676 $a658.403 700 $aRagazou$b Konstantina$01781286 701 $aZopounidis$b Constantin$0732748 701 $aGalariotis$b Emilios$01836613 701 $aSariannidis$b Nikolaos$01781288 701 $aZournatzidou$b Georgia$01836614 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911018744003321 996 $aTransparency and Corporate Washing in the Age of Sustainability$94414815 997 $aUNINA
