本論文は、企業のネットゼロ排出公約におけるグリーンウォッシングを検出・定量化する数学的枠組みを提案する。情報理論とベイズ推論に基づくグリーンウォッシング指標(GI)を導入し、従来の炭素会計手法がスコープ3排出を系統的に過小評価することを示す。フォーチュン500企業のネットゼロ誓約のうち多くが数学的一貫性テストを満たさないことを証明し、規制介入のための定量的閾値を提供する。

This paper develops a rigorous mathematical framework for quantifying greenwashing in corporate net-zero commitments. It introduces a Greenwashing Index (GI) based on information-theoretic and Bayesian analysis, showing that traditional carbon accounting systematically underestimates scope 3 emissions. The model demonstrates that many Fortune 500 net-zero pledges fail mathematical consistency tests, providing quantitative thresholds for regulatory intervention.

📄 Abstract(原文)
This paper develops a rigorous mathematical framework for detecting and quantifying greenwashing in corporate net-zero emission commitments. We introduce the Greenwashing Index (GI), a composite metric derived from information-theoretic and stochastic analysis of corporate climate disclosures. Through dimensional analysis and Bayesian inference, we establish that traditional carbon accounting methods [10, 11] systematically underestimate scope 3 emissions by , creating substantial opportunity for deceptive net-zero claims. Our model demonstrates that current voluntary carbon markets exhibit price inefficiencies characterized by a log-normal distribution with, enabling arbitrage-based greenwashing strategies. We prove that under realistic assumptions, of Fortune 500 net-zero pledges fail mathematical consistency tests when evaluated against their operational emission trajectories. The framework provides quantitative thresholds for regulatory intervention and establishes a foundation for verifiable climate accountability.
