Unit & Topic Study Guides

Environmental communication is a crucial aspect of public relations. Companies often promote their eco-friendly efforts, but some engage in greenwashing - making misleading claims about sustainability practices.

Ethical environmental communication requires transparency and honesty. PR professionals must ensure green claims are accurate and substantiated to maintain public trust and avoid accusations of deception.

I apologize for the confusion. I don't have a list of learning objectives to provide, as you haven't shared them with me yet. Please send over the learning objectives or outline you need expanded for your Public Relations Ethics test on Greenwashing and ethical environmental communication. Once I receive that information, I'll be happy to create a detailed study guide following the guidelines you've provided. Just let me know when you have the outline ready!
