Kavulová, Aneta
The bachelor thesis deals with the importance of sustainability in the clothing in-dustry from the point of view of companies and consumers. The issue of the cloth-ing industry is still a current topic in our society, it is necessary to look for more sustainable principles and procedures, as well as innovations that can help to solve these problems. To fulfil the goal, qualitative research was conducted in the form of semi-structured interviews (n = 8 for companies, n = 13 for consumers), also available secondary data were explored. The obtained data were assessed with use of content analysis and conclusions were drawn. Among the main recommen-dations is that companies devote themselves to educating their customers, as a lack of information has a significant negative impact on consumer behavior.

Greenwashing - the fake sustainbility phenomenon in cosmetic industry
Šimlová, Angelika ; Koudelková, Petra (advisor) ; Schneiderová, Soňa (referee)
Today, the public is overwhelmed by so-called green terms on the packaging of cosmetic products. Marketing communication is moving towards its green version, which is oriented to satisfy the growing interest in environmental protection. This paper explores Generation Z's perception of the false sustainability phenomenon and its impact on trust and purchasing decisions. Results suggest that most respondents are informed about brands' green efforts through social media. The data also show that trust in brands is influenced not only by communicated values but also by the actual delivery of green promises. The research also reveals that most members of Generation Z are familiar with the concept of greenwashing. However, only a minority of them factor greenwashing into their purchasing behaviour. The conclusions of the paper provide insights into the perceptions and behaviours of Generation Z in relation to widespread green marketing and its downsides.

Greenwashing in the language of advertising
Pimperová, Žofie ; Lobenstein-Reichmann, Anja (advisor) ; Bučková, Tamara (referee)
Today, environmental protection and sustainability issues are also becoming increasingly important as climate change progresses rapidly. With this, the number of companies claiming to be environmentally friendly and doing something for the climate is growing. They present their commitments in sustainability reports, paint their brands green and invest in advertising portraying them as great fighters against climate change. When these statements are false, such advertising can be described as greenwashing. But it can be hard to spot. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the linguistic devices in advertising related to the topic of sustainability and to find out which ones are repeated. First, the language of advertising and greenwashing will be introduced, then the methods of analysis, and, finally, individual examples of advertisements will be characterized and analyzed. Certain keywords, metaphors, syntax and corpus will be considered in the analysis. The work of Nina Janich, Peter Grice or Armin Burkhardt will also be used as a starting point for the analysis. Finally, the advertising posters, videos or other advertising texts of specific companies (IKEA, RWE, C&A, Shell, DB, REWE and Frosch) will be critically examined and compared with other climate promises of the companies in...

Self - greenwashing among young people aged 18 do 35
Křivánková, Simona ; Rosenfeldová, Jana (advisor) ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (referee)
The aim of this paper is to describe the consumer behaviour of young people in the Czech Republic in relation to sustainability. The thesis operates with the concept of self- greenwashing, which defines categories of young people's behavioural deviation from environmental values. The theoretical section describes greenwashing, on which the concept is based, then discusses the findings to date in relation to sustainability and concludes with a conceptualisation of the concept of self-greenwashing. The research section first describes the data collection method using focus groups and the data processing method using open and axial coding. Three focus groups were conducted with a total of 15 respondents ranging in age from 18 to 35 years. The results of the research confirmed the prevalence of self-greenwashing among young people and divided them into three groups according to their declared interest in environmental protection and real actions and influences on their behavior.

Greenwashing - the fake sustainbility phenomenon in cosmetic industry
Šimlová, Angelika ; Koudelková, Petra (advisor) ; Schneiderová, Soňa (referee)
Currently, the public is overwhelmed with so-called "green" terms on cosmetic product packaging. Marketing communication is shifting towards its green version, which aims to satisfy the growing interest in environmental protection. At the same time, a dangerous space is emerging, which brands use to deceive the public through inadequate communication about the impact of their products on the environment. The focus of this thesis is on this false sustainability in the cosmetics industry, also known as greenwashing. Research targeting Generation Z and their perception of this phenomenon reveals that even the younger generation, with access to a vast amount of information on the topic, becomes confused and skeptical due to the overuse of green terms in marketing campaigns. This skepticism extends even to brands that are genuinely moving in the right direction and following the rules that are set. A significant problem lies in the lack of proper legislation and the approach of many companies that deceive customers for the sake of higher profits, thereby undermining the credibility of other cosmetic brands in the market.

Meaning of the term eco-frinendly behaviour to Generation Z
Beranová, Eliška ; Rosenfeldová, Jana (advisor) ; Shavit, Anna (referee)
The topic of ecology and eco-friendly behaviour is very current and often debated, as it is an issue that concerns us all and our future. The main objective of this paper is to find out what does Generation Z perceive as eco-friendly behaviour, both in the context of the behaviour of the respondents themselves and in terms of their interpretation and perception of corporate behaviour. The thesis comprises a theoretical section dealing with green marketing, green behaviour and related theoretical concepts, and a practical section that includes the research itself. The research was conducted using a qualitative method in the form of semi-structured interviews, which were then analysed using thematic analysis and open coding. The analysis of the conducted interviews shows that Generation Z mainly interprets the concept of eco-friendly behaviour as reducing their personal footprint, being led by waste sorting. In the context of companies, eco-friendly behaviour according to Generation Z then includes eco-friendly products and their packaging. However, it is also important for it not to be only a pose, ecology should actually be at the core of the company's business and its main philosophy.

Awareness of greenwashing and green consumption among the young generation
Šoupalová, Sára ; Miessler, Jan (advisor) ; Vochocová, Lenka (referee)
The topic of ecology has resonated more and more in society in recent years, and the concept of sustainability in many forms is an integral part of this. Companies set out to fight for a green future with their product offerings and marketing strategies. But greenwashing practices can often be part of this company communication and the product or a brand could look more ecological than it is and the truth about the impact on the environment often remains hidden. Although the practices are considered misleading advertising, which is regulated by the state, in practice we may still find about half of the products that do not provide sufficient information to assess the accuracy of the claim. The aim of this work is to reflect on the issue of greenwashing and map the awareness of this phenomenon in Czech society with a closer focus on the young generation because it was the young generation that has been the focus of attention in connection with the Fridays For Future movement in recent years. The work is divided into theoretical, methodological, and research parts. In the research part is using quantitative research, the hypothesis is examined according to which the young generation is more ecological, and thus their awareness of greenwashing is greater. Research has shown that awareness of...
