green initiative
Environmental improvement effort
A green initiative is a program or policy aimed at reducing environmental harm—cutting emissions, conserving resources, or promoting sustainability.
The term appears frequently in corporate and government contexts: The company launched a green initiative to eliminate single-use plastics.
Critics sometimes dismiss such efforts as greenwashing when actions don't match rhetoric.
