Greenwashing is considered a global issue and refers to a process of conveying false information and marketing about a company's products and how they are produced. Greenwashing in marketing will give consumers the belief that a company is more eco-friendly than it really is and leads to unsustainable claims. This research aims to assess, through a quantitative analysis in combination with a survey, how Swedish consumers are affected by greenwashing, when it comes to their consumption choices. Moreover, this research assesses whether general attitudes towards ecolabels, green marketing and consumption is determined by a personal attitude towards marketing. In conclusion, the findings contribute to a better understanding of the effect of greenwashing on an individual level and how it has led to an increasing amount of skepticism regarding green trust and ecolabels.
