Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 3.8, Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, course: MA in Project Management, language: English, abstract: The growing social and regulatory concerns for the environment lead an increasing number of companies to consider green issues as a major source of strategic change. In particular, this trend has major and complex implications on the technological strategy of a company and on its product innovations. Even though it is increased eco-awareness of Malaysian customers during the past few decades, there are some barriers to the diffusions of more ecologically oriented consumption and production styles. Therefore, companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of green marketing concepts. The purpose of study was to investigate the consumer attitudes and perceptions towards eco- friendly products in FMCG sector and their willingness to pay on green products. This study was based on both primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected from the sample survey that was conducted in the three districts in western province such as Cyberjaya, Kuala Lumpur, and Petaling Jaya. 160 respondents were selected for the survey and respondents were asked to answer the prepared questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to obtain the consumers attitudes and perception regarding eco-friendly FMCG products under four value added areas such as product designing, packaging, place and promotion that lead towards the motivation of consumption. The secondary data were collected from relevant journals, books and other published data. The study revealed that the green products have substantial awareness among Malaysian customers and they are willing to pay something more on green products. The majority of customers considered that package is most important element of such products. The researchers have recommended some marketing strategies to meet changing mind set of customers towards the green products.

The aim of this master's thesis is to investigate consumer behaviour in relation to sustainability in the product category of sports apparel and footwear items. Therefore, the central objective of the research was to analyse the interrelationship between various internal and external factors that might have an influence on individuals' sustainable purchase behaviour. Likewise, this paper has attempted to examine and quantify the strength of the impact that the selected moderating elements can have on the dependent variable. According to the results of the correlation tests and the regression model, it can be said that internal factors, like environmental consciousness and perceived marketplace influence, act as a catalyst towards sustainable purchase behaviour. Moreover, this transition in buying behaviour could be triggered further during the decision-making process by the power of external moderating factors, such as the price of the product, product availability and the interaction with the service staff. Thus, the research has highlighted that the combined effect of the analysed factors has a significant influence on consumers' sustainable purchase behaviour and buying preferences.*****The aim of this master's thesis is to investigate consumer behaviour in relation to sustainability in the product category of sports apparel and footwear items.

The make-take-waste paradigm of fast fashion explains much of the producer and consumer behavior patterns towards fast fashion. The evolution from a two-season fashion calendar to fast fashion, characterized by rapid product cycles from retailers and impulse buying by consumers, presents new challenges to the environment, workplace and labour practices. This book provides a comprehensive overview of new insights into consumer behaviour mechanisms in order to shift practices toward sustainable fashion and to minimize the negative impacts of fast fashion on the environment and society. Concepts and techniques are presented that could overcome the formidable economic drivers of fast fashion and lead toward a future of sustainable fashion. While the need for change in the fashion industry post-Rana Plaza could not be more obvious, alternative and more sustainable consumption models have been under-investigated. The paucity of such research extends to highly consumptive consumer behaviours regarding fast fashion (i.e. impulse buying and throwaways) and the related impediments these behaviours pose for sustainable fashion. Written by leading researchers in the field of sustainable fashion and supported by the Textile Institute, this book evaluates fashion trends, what factors have led to new trends and how the factors supporting fast fashion differ from those of the past. It explores the economic drivers of fast fashion and what social, environmental and political factors should be maintained, and business approaches adopted, in order for fast fashion to be a sustainable model. In particular, it provides consumer behaviour concepts that can be utilized at the retail level to support sustainable fashion.
