I dagens samhälle är hållbarhet en viktig aspekt som påverkar både konsumenter och företag. Hur företag väljer att arbeta med detta varierar och effekterna blir därmed olika från företag till företag. Konsumenter har idag hög kunskap gällande hållbarhet och deras krav har höjts när det gäller företags engagemang i frågan samt på deras produkter. En del företag väljer att ta ett genuint ansvar för sin verksamhet medan andra väljer att utföra tomma symboliska handlingar för att leva upp till de förväntningar som ställs från omvärlden, utan att behöva lägga ner arbete på det. När ett företag utför sådana handlingar, att ha minskad miljöprestanda samtidigt som en hög miljöprestanda kommuniceras ut, kallas det greenwashing. Vilket resulterar i att konsumenterna blir lurade. Detta föder en viss misstanke och får många att undra kan företag verkligen leva upp till den bild som de själva skildrar?   Sju butiker inom dagligvaruhandeln i Växjöområdet studerades för att skapa en förståelse kring huruvida det förekommer greenwashing inom dagligvaruhandeln. Genom att studera hur butiker tar ansvar för sina verksamheter och produkter, hur hög kunskaps som de besatt samt hur vilka drivkrafter de drevs av undersöktes området.   Att någon form av greenwashing förekommer inom dagligvaruhandeln går att se. De butiker som är av större karaktär samt ingår i en koncern eller kedja tenderar att ha lägre kunskap kring hållbarhet samt sina produkter och dess ursprung. Ansvarstagandet är även detta lågt hos de lite större butikerna. De mindre butikerna har större kunskap kring sina produkter och dess ursprung, de tar även större ansvar för sin verksamhet. Oavsett vad så förekommer det handlingar som kan ses som tveksamma inom båda kategorierna, drivkrafterna till de här handlingarna är dock olika men resultatet blir detsamma. Större butiker vill tjäna pengar medan de mindre drivs av sina värderingar och tron på ett bättre värld. / Sustainability is an important aspect nowadays which affects both consumers and companies. Regarding how companies are handling their business creates different results. Today consumers have a high level of knowledge regarding sustainability which creates higher expectations towards the company's way of managing their business. Some corporations take a genuine responsibility and act upon the consumer's expectations, meanwhile some only make empty promises or acts to avoid extra time or money which may be required for real, genuine action. When a company behave in that kind of way, it is called greenwashing and the consequences are tricked customers. This creates a suspicion which makes many people wonder whether companies can live up to and fulfill the customer’s expectations.   Seven convenient stores in the convenient goods business in the area of Växjö in Sweden was studied with the purpose to create an understanding regarding whether greenwashing is existing or not. This was done by studying how convenient stores take their responsibility of their businesses and products, what level of knowledge they have and what kind incentives that drove them to act in that way.   Some level of greenwashing is present in some of the studied objects. The bigger convenient store chains tend to have a lower level of knowledge regarding sustainability, their products and the product’s origin. Responsibility is also lower at the bigger convenient store chains. The smaller stores have higher knowledge regarding their products and the product’s origin and they also take bigger responsibility for their businesses. Regardless of what kind of store it is, there exist some kind of actions which can be considered as doubtful. The incentives behind the actions may be different, but the results remain the same. Bigger chains want to earn most money possible, meanwhile the smaller stores are driven by their values and a belief of a better world.
