Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged as a powerful tool to guide businesses toward ethical and environmentally sustainable practices. However, in recent years, CSR has increasingly been misused as a strategic means of green washing where companies portray themselves as environmentally responsible without implementing meaningful changes. This paper explores how existing legal systems respond to, or fail to address, deceptive environmental claims made under the banner of CSR. It provides a critical evaluation of the legal consequences associated with the misuse of CSR and examines both international and domestic regulatory structures, alongside key legal cases that have brought greenwashing practices to light. The study underscores the urgent need for more robust legal accountability, greater clarity in sustainability standards, and stronger enforcement mechanisms. It delves into the intersection of environmental responsibility, business ethics, and legal regulation, emphasizing the importance of reinforcing legal frameworks to prevent CSR from being exploited as a façade for environmentally damaging activities.
