Year 2025, Issue: 68, 148 - 165, 27.06.2025

Abstract

Endüstrinin yaygınlaşmasıyla birlikte doğaya salınan zararlı maddeler, atmosferde sera etkisi oluşturarak küresel ısınmaya neden olmaktadır. İşletmeler, çevre dostu olduklarını göstermek için reklam ve kamu mesajlarını yanıltıcı şekilde sunabilmektedir. Dijital teknolojilerin gelişimiyle birlikte bilginin depolanması, iletilmesi ve ağlar aracılığıyla dağıtılması iletişim teknolojilerinin önemini artırmıştır. İşletmeler, sürdürülebilirliklerini korumak ve tüketici algısını yönlendirmek amacıyla bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerini etkin şekilde kullanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, küresel ısınma ile mücadelede işletmelerin yeşil aklama stratejilerinin bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. İstanbul’daki dijital kullanıcıları hedefleyen bir anket uygulanmış, Google Form aracılığıyla 397 veri toplanmıştır. SPSS ile yapılan analizlerde t-testi ve ANOVA testleri uygulanarak hipotezler değerlendirilmiş, tüm hipotezlerin kabul edildiği bulunmuştur. Gelecekte, çalışanları da kapsayan araştırmalar önerilmektedir.

Abstract

With the expansion of industry, harmful substances released into the environment contribute to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming. Businesses often present misleading advertisements and public messages to appear environmentally friendly. The advancement of digital technologies has increased the significance of information storage, transmission, and distribution through networks, highlighting the role of communication technologies. Businesses strategically utilize information and communication technologies to maintain sustainability and shape consumer perceptions. This study examines the impact of greenwashing strategies employed by businesses on information and communication technologies in the context of global warming. A survey targeting digital users in Istanbul was conducted, collecting 397 responses via Google Forms. The data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical program, applying t-tests and ANOVA tests to evaluate the hypotheses. The findings indicate that all hypotheses were accepted. Future studies should extend the research scope to include employees as well.
