“…In this digital era, interactive displays and mobile aps (Flaherty et al, 2018) can become suitable instruments to provide consumers with the information they need at the point of purchase. The interactive nature provides consumers with the control over the information they want to consult while enabling supermarkets to steer consumers by selectively presenting content (van Giesen and Leenheer, 2019). Digital displays with sustainability information increase the time spent in the supermarket and lead to more extensive product comparisons, without necessarily increasing the importance of sustainability cues (van Giesen and Leenheer, 2019).…”

Environmentally Sustainable Food Consumption: A Review and Research Agenda From a Goal-Directed Perspective

et al. 2020

The challenge of convincing people to change their eating habits toward more environmentally sustainable food consumption (ESFC) patterns is becoming increasingly pressing. Food preferences, choices and eating habits are notoriously hard to change as they are a central aspect of people's lifestyles and their socio-cultural environment. Many people already hold positive attitudes toward sustainable food, but the notable gap between favorable attitudes and actual purchase and consumption of more sustainable food products remains to be bridged. The current work aims to (1) present a comprehensive theoretical framework for future research on ESFC, and (2) highlight behavioral solutions for environmental challenges in the food domain from an interdisciplinary perspective. First, starting from the premise that food consumption is deliberately or unintentionally directed at attaining goals, a goal-directed framework for understanding and influencing ESFC is built. To engage in goal-directed behavior, people typically go through a series of sequential steps. The proposed theoretical framework makes explicit the sequential steps or hurdles that need to be taken for consumers to engage in ESFC. Consumers need to positively value the environment, discern a discrepancy between the desired versus the actual state of the environment, opt for action to reduce the experienced discrepancy, intend to engage in behavior that is expected to bring them closer to the desired end state, and act in accordance with their intention. Second, a critical review of the literature on mechanisms that underlie and explain ESFC (or the lack thereof) in high-income countries is presented and integrated into the goal-directed framework. This contribution thus combines a topdown conceptualization with a bottom-up literature review; it identifies and discusses factors that might hold people back from ESFC and interventions that might promote ESFC; and it reveals knowledge gaps as well as insights on how to encourage

“…Many reviewed articles referred to supermarkets [43,48,88] and supermarket chains [40,41,45,46,51,53,70,71,80]. A distinct approach focused on the supermarket of the future [56]. Numerous articles focus on specialty retail formats such as coffee chain stores [57], food retailers [47], food retail chains [54], grocery retailers [69], specialist food retailers as alternative food networks [87], ecological food stores [76], fashion clothing retail stores [79], and apparel retailers [72].…”

How Does Retail Engage Consumers in Sustainable Consumption? A Systematic Literature Review

The academic literature on consumer engagement and sustainable consumption has developed gradually over the last two decades. The body of knowledge related to the role of food and non-food retailers in this context, however, is only beginning to develop. The purpose of this systematic review is to analyse the existing literature on how retailers fulfil their role in engaging consumers in sustainable consumption. The need for a study with this purpose is proven by the fact that academic literature lacks a systematic review on this topic, despite the ascending trend in the number of published articles in the field. This systematic review is based on a five-step process to ensure quality, replicability, transparency, and reliable conclusions. The reviewed articles were published relatively recently in academic journals from different domains. This review identified seven distinct types of retail marketing interventions (involvement of retailers in marketing actions with the aim to engage consumers in sustainable consumption), 30 types of retail marketing mechanisms (consisting in marketing strategies, techniques, tools, and channels used by retailers), and 14 distinct types of consumer engagement in sustainable consumption patterns. The review suggests an agenda for further research and identifies practical implications for retail management.

“…Yadav & Pathak (2016) argue that a positive feeling of sustainable behavior comes from individual perspective as he/she cares about sustainability issues. Currently, information about environmental damage can be easily accessed from various media that increase people's awareness and knowledge to protect our earth (van Giesen & Leenheer 2019).…”

The spirit of Sustainable Development Goals encourages people and institutions including universities to take an active role to attain the goals such as performing sustainable behavior. This research, therefore, is conducted to predict the factors underlying universities’ members to perform sustainable behavior by applying Theory of Planned Behavior. This study distributes an electronic questionnaire to 273 accounting undergraduate students in Universitas Islam Indonesia. All completed questionnaires were analysed by assistance from a statistic tool namely smartPLS version 3. This research discovers subjective norm does not significantly influence intention as well as sustainable behavior, however, the others influence significantly. Indirect test indicates that there are no mediation effects from intention variable in order to mediate the relation between three independent variables to sustainable behavior. This research argues that the insignificant influence of subjective norm to intention and sustainable behavior results insignificant influence of intention to sustainable behavior and generates no mediation effects.
