“…If, for example, a consumption field is closely linked to symbolic meanings (e.g., private cars as objects of status), structural and/or economic instruments have to be accompanied by measures that address this symbolic component. 13 For similar findings and a discussion on how to combine instruments see Kaufmann-Hayoz & Gutscher (2001), Lucas et al (2008), Geller et al (2006), SDC/NCC (2006), andIES et al (2008).…”

Consumption and sustainability are complex issues-they cannot be reduced to the choice of consumer goods or to "green consumption." Doing so would neglect the multifaceted embeddedness of consumer acts and the multidimensionality of sustainability. To understand patterns of consumption and move them toward sustainability means dealing with this double complexity. A coherent reference framework is therefore needed, to enable locating and correlating research questions, theories, and findings. Such a framework should provide a basis for interdisciplinary understanding, mutual acknowledgment, and collaborative knowledge creation. Therefore, it needs to be the result of an integrative approach; otherwise it would not allow a wide variety of disciplines to work with it. This article presents such a framework, developed in the course of an interdisciplinary process in a research program. In this process, the researchers of the focal topic asked four questions: 1) How can consumption be conceptualized? 2) How can consumption and sustainability be related? 3) How can sustainable consumption be assessed? and 4) How can changes to individual consumption be motivated? The article condenses the researchers' overall answers to these questions into four complementary core statements capturing the key elements of the reference framework and concludes by sketching the framework's benefits for future research.

“…From the viewpoint of marketing, carbon footprint as a measure of the low-carbon degree of a unit product or service is gradually becoming one of components shaping customer value while low carbon economy evolutes and consumers' low carbon consciousness forms over time. For example, Geller et al [9] mentions that some projects succeed by utilizing the economic tools (including awards and discounts) and promotion efforts (like educating and persuading to affect consumers' behaviors). In reality, many firms have adopted carbon label to increase the transparency of product carbon footprint information for better identifying low-carbon property of goods on the shelf.…”

Abstract:We study an emission-dependent dyadic fashion supply chain made up of a supplier and a manufacturer, both of which can reduce their own component/product emissions to serve the carbon-footprint sensitive consumers. With Carbon Tax regulation, we consider four scenarios resulting from two ways in form of adopting transfer price contract and/or introducing third-party emission-reduction service (TPERS) to enhance the efficiency of systematic emission reductions. We refine four models from these corresponding scenarios, which in turn constitute a decision-making framework composed of determining vertical incentives and choosing supply chain structures. By exploiting Stackelberg games in all models, we compare their emission reduction efficiencies and profitability for each pair of settings. Theoretic analysis and numerical studies show that adopting vertical transfer payment schemes can definitely benefit channel carbon footprint reduction and Pareto improvement of supply chain profitability, regardless of whether the emissionreduction service exists or not. However, whether introducing TPERS or not is heavily depending on systematic parameters when the transfer payment incentive is adopted there. We also provide insights on the sensitivity of carbon tax parameters with respect to the supply chain performance, overall carbon emission reduction, vertical incentive and TPERS adopting decision-makings.

Abstract. Recent advances in pervasive computing foster automated systems to support household energy management. Smart devices can be used to monitor both the consumption of household appliances and the presence and activity of people in the household. Based on monitoring results, intelligent feedback to residents and intelligent control of appliances is possible. In this paper we present a service-oriented architecture for household energy management in order to cope with interoperability and flexibility issues that exist in the home environment. We also propose a home service bus that realizes core properties of the service-oriented architecture, and thus facilitates integration of existing solutions and development of new applications.
