The New York Times notes that corporations including Ford [3], Exxon Mobil [4], BP [5], General Electric [6] and Alcan [7] "appear to be spending ever-bigger chunks of their advertising budgets to promote" what critics call greenwashing [8]. New ad campaigns from WPP [9], Omnicom Group [10], and Interpublic Group [11] tout corporate "environmental do-goodism." "Oil companies, under attack for reaping windfall profits from soaring fuel prices, are trying to position themselves as part of the solution to energy problems rather than the cause. Manufacturers of fuel-efficient automobiles, jet engines or other green products are recognizing that they can burnish their image even as they promote their products. And companies in all industries are trying to make socially conscious investors and customers comfortable about buying their products and shares."
