Forever 21 faces accusations of greenwashing for misleading marketing of its 'sustainable' collection.
Classic greenwashing case where marketing claims far exceed environmental reality. Fast fashion inherently has moderate environmental impact (G=18) through supply chain emissions and textile waste, but lacks regulatory violations. However, Forever 21's 'sustainable collection' marketing represents bold, unverified claims (C=72) with high unverifiability (5/5), vague specificity (1/5), and significant amplification through marketing campaigns. Intent score of 11/15 indicates deliberate greenwashing pattern - using sustainability language without substantiation. The 54-point gap (C-G=+54) clearly places this in List C: corporate claim dominates actual environmental performance.
