Bluewash is any partnership between the United Nations and a corporation that has agreed to abide by the United Nations Global Compact. ... The term itself is often considered derogatory, particularly given the problems of these types of partnerships; since there are no screening or enforcement mechanisms to ensure that the corporation adheres to the ten principles, critics argue that such partnerships are merely public relations ploys designed to improve corporate images. 2, record 1, English, - blue%20washing
