“…In other words, we are affirming that a full comprehension of the link existing between environmental regulation, innovation, and competitiveness requires a nuanced understanding of how consumers (and also other stakeholders) perceive an environmentally friendly firm and its green products, that is, value appropriation. With the term "green products," we refer to a broad group of products that contain recycled materials, reduce waste, conserve energy or water, use less packaging, and reduce the amount of toxics disposed or consumed (Nimse, Vijayan, Kumar, & Varadarajan, 2007).…”

The impact of environmental regulation on the competitiveness of firms and industries remains a hot topic. Since the formulation of the Porter hypothesis, scholars from different research areas have tried to confirm or deny it. However, despite a vast literature engaging this debate, it remains unclear whether and under what conditions the hypothesis could be considered valid. We believe that this is due to the need to consider some additional factors. The aim of this review is to propose additional and significant themes, namely value appropriation and pollution intensity, to be considered when examining the impact of environmental regulation on the innovation and profitability of firms. Results show that the validity of the Porter hypothesis cannot be proved in any condition, but at the same time, there are additional factors that have a relevant influence on that construct, which can lead to a validation or rejection of the hypothesis.

“…specific features and material used to justify the definitions of green products. From the list of technical characteristics of green products, Nimse et al (2007) In terms of specific features, Mishra and Sharma (2010) suggested that green products can also be based on whether they are grown naturally, whether there is usage of natural ingredients, whether there is usage of approved chemicals, whether animal testing was carried out and whether the products do not pollute the environment. As for the materials used, Alsmadi (2007) stated that green products are those that use environmentally friendly materials, minimum energy and resource consumption and are subject to recycling; or as he defined them-these are products that do not cause any harm to the environment.…”

The emergence of environmental problems and the increased awareness towards green purchase behaviour have received many responses by the stakeholders' worldwide like from the government bodies, researchers, businesses, consumers and so on. Government's bodies, for example, have responded by developing and introducing their own environmentally-linked policies to be implemented in their countries, which are intended to conserve and preserve the environment. Researchers, on the other hand, are continuously conducting extensive studies and publishing their findings on the issues to inform the public, while businesses that promote the selling of green products (or environmentally friendly products) in the marketplace have been increasing in number. Segments of green consumers have been observed to emerge and grow in size worldwide including Malaysia. This may be due to the increased number of green products introduced to consumers in the marketplace. Moreover, scholars from Malaysia also argued that, this trend is experiencing tremendous growth. Although there are responses from these stakeholders, especially consumers, who have had a positive impact on the environment, the trend of the green purchase behaviour by Malaysian consumers remains unobserved. Therefore, the authors aim to answer the questions concerning whether a trend can be observed in the green purchase behaviour of Malaysian consumers. The ability to observe the green purchase behaviour trend is useful, particularly for marketers and businesses that are selling or intending to sell green products within the country.

“…For environmental protection different types of behaviors can be opted and buying green products is among one of them (Gordon-Wilson and Modi, 2015). By the time consumers have started showing concern for the environment and preferring eco-friendly products and services (Nimse et al, 2007) and such concerns and awareness about environment has created ecofriendly consumption called 'green consumerism' (Moisander, 2007). The green movement has expanded rapidly in the developed countries, but with the time an increased receptiveness is seen among consumers about going green in developing nations such as India (Raghavan and Vahanvati, 2008).…”
