“…Economic and lifestyle concerns were the least important in anti-consumption (Tosun and Yanar Gürce, 2018 ). Equally interesting is that social marketing moderates the relationship between consumer social responsibility and anti-consumption (Anderson, 2018a ). The findings suggest that social marketing would be a viable source to enhance consumer welfare.…”

The study aims to determine the role of personal factors, consumer social responsibility, and social marketing among meat anti-consumers. The study tests a model of anti-consumption using a sample of 597 (n = 597) participants from a cluster of young consumers through the distribution of the questionnaires in the Pakistani market. SEM employing the AMOS model for path relationships along with the Johnson-Neyman technique for moderation was mainly used. Results prescribe religiosity as the moderating driver of the anti-consumption of meat among young consumers in Pakistan. Consumer social responsibility is a robust antecedent, while social marketing is significantly documented for sustainability motives. Consumers apprise the personal health and environmental domain as an auspicious component for meat anti-consumption. The study reveals social marketing motivations for anti-consumption that eventually steers marketers and policymakers in shaping the concerned strategies. Our study delivers new insights into food anti-consumption behavior that provides guidelines for policymakers who heed consumer eating behaviors. The study is among pioneer work that establishes the moderating role of religious motivations and meat anti-consumption behavior among Muslim consumers to acquire healthy wellbeing.

“…The study highlights how two activist organizations, Carrotmob and the GoodGuide, are leveraging social media to create influential movements. Anderson (2018) focused on the influential role of ethical consumers within the Fair Trade movement, exploring how this role is evolving as the geographies of production and consumption become increasingly fluid. Using historical comparative case studies, Anderson (2018) identified different consumer narratives and considers their implications for the future politicization of Fair Trade consumption.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the determinants of retailer social responsibility (RSR) in Old Dhaka City and their impact on RSR practices. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional design was used to collect primary data from 180 retailers through a questionnaire survey. The study used partial least squares structural equation modeling to analyze the data and examine the relationships among the determinants of RSR. Findings The study found that economic and ethical factors positively and significantly affect RSR practices, while social and environmental factors negatively but not significantly affect RSR practices. Cultural factors were also found to positively and significantly affect RSR practices. Practical implications This study provides insights for retailers and policymakers to enhance their RSR practices by considering economic, ethical and cultural factors. The findings also contribute to the existing literature on stakeholder theory by highlighting the importance of considering multiple stakeholders in RSR practices. Originality/value This study provides insights into the determinants of RSR in a unique setting in associating stakeholder theory and in Bangladesh, which has received limited attention in the literature on RSR.

“…How can we couple these important features of contemporary food-related consumer movements with a renewed focus around organisations? Historical approaches have analysed the role of organisations in consumer movements (Hilton, 2009;Anderson, 2015Anderson, , 2018. However, work addressing the social movement dimension of contemporary food-related certification bodies is limited.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between consumer movements and sustainability certification bodies in the development of food-related consumer campaigns.Design/methodology/approachThis paper adopts a longitudinal approach to the study of an empirical case, the Fairtrade Towns (FTT) movement in the UK. It combines netnographic analysis on the FTT’s online forum with interviews with members of the community and of the certification body coordinating the movement.FindingsThe author conceptualises Sustainably Certified Consumer Communities (SCCC) as a distinct sub-group of consumer movements whose identity coalesces around a sustainable certification and that mobilises supporters with the purpose of promoting social change through the marketplace. The longitudinal approach allows the identification of definitional elements, main practices and unresolved tensions of this concept.Originality/valueResearch addressing the social movement dimension of contemporary food-related sustainability certification is limited. The present study advances consumer research through the conceptualisation of SCCC and contributes to a new understanding of the political roles that market-oriented certification bodies can play in consumer activism. From a managerial perspective, it provides valuable insights into practitioners interested in fostering community engagement.
