“…Further research has demonstrated significant correlations between a participant's knowledge and attitude as well as between environmental knowledge and environmental attitude (Haryanto, ). Another study conducted by Khan and Mohsin () also suggested a relationship between the consumption of green products and positive emotions. Given that the application of environmental knowledge leads to the experience of positive emotions, the following hypotheses are proposed.H1a Environmental knowledge has a significant effect on one's environmental attitude.H1b Environmental knowledge has a significant effect on one's sense of well‐being.H1c Environmental knowledge has a significant effect on one's individual attitude.…”

“…For example, consumers who intended to buy environment-friendly products aimed to express their commitment and support to environmental protection (Haryanto, 2014;Pullig, Netemeyer, & Biswas, 2006). A study conducted by Khan and Mohsin (2017) revealed that the consumers who cared about the environment were inclined to identify with the behavior of environmental protection and therefore had the intention to buy green products. The observations of individual purchasing behavior revealed that purchase intention was affected by consumer attitudes (Paul & Rana, 2012).…”

The 2015 Paris Agreement is the first historical global accord aiming to palliate global warming. Climate change has caused ecological, economic, and social disasters, among other things and has made not only nations review their environmental protection issues but also the consumers paying more attention to the environment and encouraging green oriented buying behaviors. This study targets Taiwan's consumers, and 649 valid questionnaires were recovered. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to extract the trait factors, whereas confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used for the verification of the scale and structural model, respectively. The result shows that the consumers' environmental knowledge, environmental consciousness, and the social norms have had a positive effect on their environmental attitude, as do their environmental knowledge and the social norms to a sense of well‐being. Consumers purchasing intention and behavior are pointing towards green products. Therefore, companies need to respond to the consumers' demand and fulfill their social responsibility to release the green products so as to satisfy the consumers' needs.

“…The conception of green consumerism is closely linked to human values that have been found, in a plethora of empirical studies, to affect (self‐reported) pro‐responsibility behaviour of consumers (e.g. Watkins et al ., ; Ladhari and Tchetgna, ; Khan and Mohsin, ; Awuni and Du, ; Şener and Hazer, ; Suki and Suki, ; Thøgersen and Ölander, ; Pepper et al ., ). For example, environmental value orientation has been found to strengthen pro‐environmental behaviour (Watkins et al ., ; Khan and Mohsin, ).…”

For example, environmental value orientation has been found to strengthen pro‐environmental behaviour (Watkins et al ., ; Khan and Mohsin, ). In particular, biospheric and ecocentric values, as in appreciation for the intrinsic value of the ecosystem and biosphere, have been found to most strongly predict pro‐environmental consumption behaviour (Perlaviciute and Steg, ; Nguyen et al ., ).…”

Sustainable Development

Sustainable consumption is a crucial contributor to sustainable development. Often, environmental policy approaches to promote sustainable consumption rely on increasing the awareness of consumers through information provision. Hence, it is important to know what kind of people the sustainability information is likely to reach, and what kind of people would need to be reached by other means in order to green their consumption. We advance the question of the characteristics of consumers who look for information about sustainability when making grocery purchasing choices. We focus on value‐based buying behaviour of Millennials, drawing from consumer surveys carried out in Finland, Hong Kong and Spain. The results show that values differ between the studied nationalities, but when modelling how values affect the pro‐responsibility behaviour the effect of nationality vanishes. Also, high perception of one's own sustainability related behaviour seems to enable altruistic, self‐directed people to act on environmental concern.

Sustainable development: The effects of environmental policy disclosure in advertising

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainable development is a key issue for society. Beside corporate's efforts, consumers should have responsibilities for environmental protection and consider sustainable coexistences between future generations and natural ecosystems. In this study, a 4 × 2 factorial between‐subject experiment is adopted to develop eight environmental policy disclosure scenarios based on different environmental advertising claims (product orientation, process orientation, image orientation, and environmental fact) and eco‐labels (available/unavailable) to explore the effect of consumer attitudes and behaviors. This study's results show that environmental advertising claims have significant effects on consumers' attitudes. The product, process, and image orientation advertising, along with advertising with eco‐labels, can induce more positive attitudes and stronger purchase intentions. Individuals with greater environmental concerns have a significant positive attitude toward environmental advertising. Consumer attitudes toward environmental advertising also have positive effects on purchase intentions and sustainable consumption behaviors. Finally, this study offers useful findings, practical implications, and insights.
