Some European examples of greenwashing include:
- Airbus for a series of adverts in which passenger jet silhouettes are filled with beautiful landscapes, pretending that their aeroplanes are green and clean;
- BAE Systems for promoting deadly weapons as environmentally friendly;
- BP and Greenwashing tells the story of how "British Petroleum" was re-branded BP, along with its PR tag line, "Beyond Petroleum";
- Exxon Mobil for purporting it is reducing its greenhouse gas emissions while in reality its emissions are increasing;
- The German Atomic Forum for its campaign "unloved climate protectionists", abusing the public's concern about climate change to promote nuclear energy;
- Shell for an advert suggesting that their oil refineries emit flowers not smoke.
