How to tell if a company is greenwashing

A company that is greenwashing use vague language and consistently releases press articles about the great work they're doing, but there is no evidence to back up these claims. For example, BP spent millions on an ad campaign about renewable energy, but everything else they did was bad.

Companies use jargon and scientific talk to confuse the audience to make it seem like they're doing complicated work.

If you're truly interested in a company and its actual ESG status, research their owners and use your own research to validate their claims.
