Amid growing consumer awareness of environmental issues, companies worldwide are increasingly adopting marketing strategies that emphasize sustainability and social responsibility. However, the practice of greenwashing, where companies merely pretend to care about the environment to enhance their image, has raised significant concerns. This research aims to identify how greenwashing is used within the context of strategic management and to evaluate its impact on consumer trust and corporate reputation in the long term. The study employs a case study method, analyzing companies accused of greenwashing, particularly from the fast fashion and energy industries. The findings reveal that while greenwashing can boost short-term sales and popularity, its detrimental effect on corporate reputation becomes evident in the long run, especially when consumers detect the discrepancy between a company's claims and actual practices. The implications of this research highlight the importance of authentic sustainability strategies and contribute to the literature on ethics in strategic management. Thus, this study encourages companies to adopt more socially and environmentally responsible solutions, rather than mere image-building efforts.

Seiring dengan tumbuhnya persaingan pasar antarperbankan syariah, maka bank syariah harus melakukan berbagai strategi untuk terus bertahan. Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) yang menjadi bank syariah terbesar di Indonesia. Untuk terus bertahan maka menjaga loyalitas nasabah merupakan salah satu kunci agar BSI dapat tetap bersaing, salah satu caranya dapat dilakukan dengan menjaga reputasi yang baik dan meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan. Namun pada 8 Mei 2023 BSI sempat mengalami gangguan yang menyebabkan lumpuhnya semua sistem transaksi di BSI, hingga saat ini gangguan tersebut masih sering terjadi pada layanan m-banking. Sehingga muncul keraguan nasabah untuk menyimpan kembali dana di BSI. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat bagaimana pengaruh reputasi bank dan kualitas pelayanan terhadap loyalitas nasabah baik secara parsial maupun silmultan. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif. Populasi penelitian adalah nasabah BSI KCP Bandung UNISBA 2 dengan menggunakan pengambilan sampel random sampling kepada 100 responden, teknik pengumpulan data dengan wawancara, kuesioner, dan juga studi kepustakaan. Uji data menggunakan uji validitas dan reliabilitas untuk menguji keakuratan pertanyaan dalam kuesioner. Teknik analisis data menggunakan uji asumsi klasik (normalitas, multikolinearitas, heterokedastisitas) serta untuk melihat pengaruh menggunakan analisis regresi linier berganda (Koefesien determinasi, uji t secara parsial dan uji F secara simultan). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara parsial tidak ada pengaruh signifikan antara reputasi bank dan loyalitas nasabah, tetapi kualitas pelayanan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap loyalitas nasabah. Hasil uji secara simultan menunjukkan bahwa jika reputasi bank dan kualitas pelayanan disandingkan maka akan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap loyalitas nasabah.
