PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MUNTINLUPA
INTRODUCTION
Over the years, environmental degradation has gotten worse and worse, and it is
now one of the primary causes of climate change. The use of green products is widely
businesses are continually looking for the most effective strategies to spread their green
message to consumers. Customers have raised their expectations and begun to take
environmental concerns more seriously. When it comes to brands, what matters is how
consumers view them and what the brand's image is. Green marketing is the practice of
promoting goods and/or services based on their favorable effects on the environment.
It's possible for such a good or service to be ecologically friendly in its design,
production, and/or packaging. Green marketing makes the obvious assumption that
advantage and base their purchase decision accordingly. Because human wants are
limitless and resources are scarce, it is crucial for marketers to make effective, waste-
free use of resources in order to meet organizational goals. Green marketing is therefore

evolving and are worried about the environment. their actions. Green marketing, which
represents the expanding market for environmentally and socially conscious goods and

services, has resulted from this (Bukhari, 2011). Since the early 1900s, research has
given sustainable consumption more and more attention (Bangsa and Schlegelmilch,
2019). However, as evidenced by the most recent Living Planet Report 2018, we are still
a long way from adopting sustainable production and consumption practices (WWF,
2018). Despite the fact that there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution to the issue of
consumption has taken center stage in policy discussions as a result of the realization
that societal changes also necessitate personal changes (Pollex, 2017). Consumers can
friendly items can help the environment's overall sustainability. Based on the idea of
planned behavior, this study attempts to analyze the association of green consumption
values, attitudes, and behaviors. Consumers' own values are what determine their
attitudes (TPB). Functional value and novelty value in green consumption as well as
green consumption attitudes can be used to predict green consumption behaviors (Kao
and Tu, 2015). Consumer behavior is characterized as the actions taken by a consumer
when seeking out, acquiring, utilizing, assessing, and discarding goods and services that
they believe will meet their needs. Concern for the environment is critical while making
consumption decisions. Along with the individuals in charge of the marketing initiatives of
the companies, consumers also have key responsibilities in this regard. By exercising
their purchasing power and their post-consumer obligations, consumers have begun to

written by Milano (2019) stated that as more consumers want environmentally friendly
products and services, businesses are incorporating "sustainability" into their core
operating principles.
consumers are more eco-friendly than the world average, and a huge majority of
and 74% in the Philippines. The Middle East is likewise seeing this trend. Some
businesses have taken the initiative to create green products that do not pollute the
environment or deplete natural resources. It has also been discovered that only 5% of
marketing statements from "Green" efforts are completely factual, and there is a lack of

are involved in issuing the certifications. For such labeling and licensing, a standard
quality control board must be in place, (Garg et al., 2013). According to do Paço, Alves,
Shiel, and Filho (2013), Purchasing environmentally friendly products not only provides
uneven benefits, but also helps to reduce pollution and preserve natural resources. So,
As the green market develops, businesses must take into account social and
environmental goals in addition to economic goals, (Lotfi et al., 2018). Consumers are
often interested in doing their part to live more sustainably, and they want businesses to
play a role in this (Martins, 2022). Daily food choices have a huge impact on the

shifting. Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about the food they consume.

embraced by the retail industry, as well as those in shopping malls. Most retailers
believe that green products are popular with customers, but that they have yet to gain
widespread acceptance due to a lack of awareness and high prices. Consumers are
becoming more aware of these issues and incorporating them into their daily lives.
Retailers are highly influential, because they may influence social and environmental
sustainability in a variety of ways. For example, they can improve the sustainability of
their products and processes, increase the sustainability of their products and
A study conducted by Kang, Liu, and Kim in 2013, found that college students’

They understand the critical role that manufacturers and merchants play in ensuring
