To Pay Lip Service to Sb/Sth

If you pay lip service to somebody / something, you say that you support or agree with somebody / something without actually doing anything.



Examples:
This organisation pays lips service to career development.
This company pays lip service to the principle of equal rights for women.
You don't really care about politics. You're just paying lip service to the candidate.
