By taking a stand on social issues, corporations can create the illusion that they are committed to social responsibility, even if they are not actually making any meaningful changes.
- Virtue signaling. Some corporations are embracing social justice initiatives as a way to virtue signal their commitment to social justice. Virtue signaling is the act of expressing one's own moral superiority by making public displays of support for popular social causes.

- Greenwashing. Corporations that are accused of greenwashing can damage their reputation and lose the trust of their customers, employees, and investors.
