Abstract
More companies are going green. They believe that greening the business is their responsibility and is simply the right thing to do. It benefits not only the company but also consumers. Since the substance of the green business concept is rather ambiguous, it is difficult to evaluate whether a green claim is correct and is not a greenwash. The study tries to find out the understanding of companies conducting green practices on green business. It aims specifically to explore to what extent they know about green business and whether their practices are accordingly green. It is a case study on three Indonesian companies identified as conducting green practices. Interview to either the owner-manager or the representative of the companies was for gathering data. The study shows that understanding on green business still varies and reasons underlying their green practices are commitment of not to harm the environment. In the beginning, they did not realize if what they have done are green practices. Know the benefits of being green can be the motivation for being green. Disseminate the laws is thus important.
