Transparency nudges in corporate social responsibility (CSR), are used to positively impact a company’s image. However, conflicting findings have emerged regarding the effectiveness of CSR messages. Further, little is known about how transparency improves consumer pro-environmental behaviour, nor whether this can backfire. Does it impact the brand and trust towards brands? Do consumers perceive it as greenwashing? Three studies (one survey and two experimental studies; N = 582) were conducted to verify if information transparency in the form of an Index of known (vs. unknown) fast fashion brands can increase pro-social purchase behaviour and trust. Findings from Study 1 suggest that the presence of an Index did not influence purchase intention and consumer evaluation of a real fast fashion brand, only the fictitious one. Study 2 highlights these findings by showing that the presence of an Index does not influence trust. Further, we present greenwashing as a boundary condition of transparency effects on trust.Pinto, Diego CostaCastagna, Ana CarinaRUNReck, Rafaela2022-03-11T14:15:51Z2022-01-252022-01-25T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/134277TID:202961133enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:12:44Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/134277Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:48:02.919509Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
