 Walking the talk, but above all, talking the walk: Looking green for market stakeholder engagementJavier Amores‐Salvadó, Gregorio Martin‐ de Castro and Elisabeth Albertini Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, 2023, vol. 30, issue 1, 431-442 Abstract: In recent years, corporate environmental commitment is showing different postures going from greenwashing to undue modesty and from environmental excellence to environmental inaction. In this paper, we go a step beyond the most recent research work on the dichotomy greenwashing–brownwashing and develop a more comprehensive model that reflect more subtly four main corporate environmental strategic positions based on both firm's environmental performance and disclosure achievements. Jointly with their characterization, and adopting a question‐driven approach we add to the literature on environmental disclosure‐firm performance proposing an explorative research question that consider cluster membership on market firm performance under the general assumption that, at least theoretically, each of the four main corporate environmental strategic positions under analysis can result in market performance improvements. Our empirical results from a panel data of international industrial companies show very interesting and novel insights, highlighting the fact that being green is good, but above all, it is good to look green.
