Greenhushing and Socialhushing: Two Steps Forward and One Step Back?
摘要
Leaders and decision-makers around the world have been determined to achieve sustainable development for decades. Despite the efforts and advancements, there is still a long way to go to ensure long-term responsible growth and development. Organizations play an important role in the path toward progress; however, there are many that mislead their stakeholders or are choosing not to disclose their practices, also known as hushing. How do greenhushing and socialhushing impact stakeholders’ perceptions and decision-making, and the achievement of global sustainable development? This conceptual study contributes to literature on corporate social responsibility, stakeholder behavior, and sustainable development.
