Findings findings this indicate that consumers’ perceptions can harm brands. Specifically, positively influences BA through both GPR GT. Moreover, directly affects NWoM indirectly via GPR. Practical implications provides actionable insights for practitioners, importance avoiding deceptive (i.e. GW) build reduce like NWoM. adopting transparent practices leveraging third-party environmental certifications, enhance credibility, mitigate risks maintain customer loyalty sustainability-focused markets.

Design/methodology/approach This uses a mixed-method exploratory sequential design. Initially, authors collected sample 313 relevant documents. Thematic analysis hierarchical coding were then performed using NVivo software uncover correlations nodes address our research questions. word cloud was conducted assess value stakeholders as moderating variables. Following this, role reevaluated, leading selection 58 samples for separate content analysis. Findings First, there negative greenwashing. Second, observed GFPs authors’ correlation coefficient suggests that environmental, social governance funds, non-mainstream focus within GFPs, deserve further in-depth investigation. Originality/value While significant portion existing literature focuses on bonds greenwashing, noticeable gap exists regarding broader spectrum their association with lack direct connection area underexplored in literature. fills by investigating either promoting mitigating
