Green marketing refers to the practice of promoting products or services based on their environmental benefits. This term emerged in the late 1980s and has since evolved to encompass a wide range of strategies, including the integration of environmental considerations into all aspects of marketing. Green marketing is closely tied to corporate social responsibility^[1] and can involve efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote sustainable practices, and increase consumer^[3] awareness of eco-friendly products. It is characterized by both challenges, such as higher production costs and accusations of greenwashing, and benefits, such as cost savings through resource efficiency and improved brand^[4] image. Future trends in green marketing include the growth of circular economy initiatives, the adoption of renewable energy sources, and an emphasis on supply chain^[2] transparency.

Terms definitions

1. ↑ corporate social responsibility.

1 Corporate Social Responsibility, commonly referred to as CSR, is a business model that encourages companies to consider their impact on society and the environment in all aspects of their operation. It is a concept that has evolved and matured since the 1960s, encompassing not only economic and legal considerations but also ethical and philanthropic ones. CSR involves businesses voluntarily going beyond what the law requires to improve their social and environmental performance. This can range from reducing their carbon footprint to engaging in charitable work. However, CSR is more than just charity; it involves integrating these considerations into the business model. The implementation of CSR can lead to enhanced consumer loyalty, improved reputation, and potentially increased long-term profits. It's essential to note that CSR initiatives vary globally due to regional consumer preferences and different governmental regulations. Despite criticisms about its effectiveness and concerns of it being used as a smokescreen, CSR remains a significant aspect of modern business practices. It's verified through various industry resources and often forms part of the company's reporting to stakeholders.

It is also becoming increasingly important to consider social responsibility and security regulations in supply chain management. The supply chain process is subject to different types and models, and its performance and resilience are key factors for success. Technology adoption, sustainability, e-commerce, and data analytics are emerging trends in supply chains, while global uncertainties, balance between efficiency and responsiveness, transparency, cybersecurity, and skills gap pose significant challenges.

Green marketing (Wikipedia)

Green marketing is the marketing of products that are presumed to be environmentally safe. It incorporates a broad range of activities, including product modification, changes to the production process, sustainable packaging, as well as modifying advertising. Yet defining green marketing is not a simple task. Other similar terms used are environmental marketing and ecological marketing.

Green, environmental and eco-marketing are part of the new marketing approaches which do not just refocus, adjust or enhance existing marketing thinking and practice, but also seek to challenge those approaches and provide a substantially different perspective. In more detail green, environmental and eco-marketing belong to the group of approaches which seek to address the lack of fit between marketing as it is currently practiced and the ecological and social realities of the wider marketing environment.

The legal implications of marketing claims call for caution or overstated claims can lead to regulatory or civil challenges. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission provides some guidance on environmental marketing claims. The commission is expected to do an overall review of this guidance, and the legal standards it contains, in 2011.
