What Is Green Marketing?

Green Marketing is a relatively new concept, which involves the promotion of


products and services which are safe for the environment. It involves development,
manufacturing, promotion, distribution, consumption, and disposal of the products
and services in a sustainable fashion so that least damage is caused to nature.

In this way, the marketing of the company’s offering is done on the basis of its
environmental advantages. Activities may include product adjustment, change in the
process of production, change in advertising and sustainable packaging of products.

The primary aim is to reduce the adverse effects of the products and its consumption
and disposal, on the environment. This means that the products and services are
either eco-friendly or produced in an eco-friendly manner, which does not harm the
environment.

Objectives of Green Marketing

 To adhere to corporate social responsibility.

 To reduce expenses.

 To showcase how environment-friendly the company’s offerings are.

 To communicate the brand message


 To implement sustainable and socially accountable business practices.

Example

1. Whole Foods: An American supermarket chain, owned by Amazon, known for


selling organic products, which does not contain hydrogenated fats, flavours,
preservatives, sweeteners, flavours and artificial colours.

2. Starbucks: Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse chain in the world with a presence
in more than 70 countries. It promotes sustainable practices to grow coffee.

3. The Body Shop: A British cosmetic and skincare giant, which offers products
which are cruelty-free, and use natural ingredients.
Principles of Green Marketing

 Consumer-Oriented Marketing: The notion says that the firm should perceive the
marketing activities from the consumer’s viewpoint, so as to develop a lasting and
profitable relationship with them.

 Customer Value Marketing: As per this notion, the company should allot its
resources that add value to the product or service they offer, rather than simply
changing the product packaging or making a huge investment on the advertisement.
this is because, when the value is added to the product, they will be valued by the
customers also.

 Innovative Marketing: To strive for real product and marketing improvements,


says the third principle, i.e. innovative marketing. We all know that the world is ever-
changing and so does the tastes and preferences of the customers. therefore, the
company should always look for new and improved methods, to not lose customers
easily.
 Mission Marketing: The company’s mission should be broadly defined, in social
terms and not in the product. This is due to the fact that if a company states the
mission that has some social welfare hidden in it, the employees feel proud to work
for a good cause and work in the right direction.

 Societal Marketing: As per this principle, the marketing decisions made by the
company must take into account the wants and interest of the consumers, company’s
requirements and the social welfare.

Therefore, green marketing demands products and services which are not only eco-
friendly but also beneficial for society.
