This study analyzes (1) the legal qualification of corporate greenwashing within the Indonesian legal system and (2) the forms of corporate liability arising from false or misleading environmental information. Using a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches, the study finds that greenwashing is not explicitly regulated under Indonesian positive law. However, legal responses can be derived from the Indonesian Criminal Code, the Environmental Protection and Management Law, the Capital Market Law, the Financial Services Authority Law, and Article 1365 of the Indonesian Civil Code. Corporate liability may arise under criminal, administrative, or civil law, depending on the nature and consequences of the conduct. Accordingly, greenwashing should be understood as corporate environmental information manipulation rather than an independent criminal offense.Downloads
