“…Customers' willingness to pay premium prices encourages a company to differentiate its products from those of its competitors, justifying high prices for these products and attracting potential consumers (Naeini, Azali, & Tamaddoni, 2015). Ferguson (2014) found that environmental information such as eco-label had a positive impact on consumer purchase behavior such as purchase intention and the willingness to pay more. Also, the environmental information helped to increase consumers' awareness of the environmental and social benefits offered by eco-products, heightening their inclinations to purchase these products.…”

Drawing upon cognitive‐experiential self‐theory (CEST), this study examined how individuals’ differences in emotion‐driven dispositions (i.e., need for variety and fashion interest) and logic‐driven dispositions (i.e., ecological consciousness and social consciousness) can influence their information processing and decision making in the context of eco‐fashion. A focus group of nine participants and an online questionnaire involving 657 participants were used to accomplish the purpose of the study. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the hierarchical relationships among individual differences, responses, and consumer behavioral tendencies. The results indicated that consumers’ need for variety positively influenced their affective responses, purchase intention, and willingness to pay more for eco‐fashion. Consumers’ ecological consciousness and social consciousness positively influenced their cognitive responses and eventually their purchase intentions and willingness to pay more for eco‐fashion. Furthermore, cognitive responses had strong impacts on affective responses.

“…The trend towards sustainable and ethical consumption in recent decades has led a large number of people to buy products that are aligned with their beliefs and are better for the environment (White et al, 2019;Ustaoglu & Yildiz, 2023). This trend makes firms care more about their supply chain and operations so that more sustainable products are produced (Ferguson, 2014;Asif et al, 2023;Nudzor, 2023). One of the primary reasons for this shift in consumer behaviour is the rising acknowledgement of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), one of which is SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) (Cai & Choi, 2020).…”

The study delves into the factors influencing green purchasing behaviour in Pakistan's growing market. The study was conceptually centred on the diffusion of innovation and the theory of planned behaviour models. The relevance of the interrelationships between the items measuring the components of the research was determined using the Process Hayes model 4. The findings demonstrate that attitude has a substantial positive interconnection with relative advantage, compatibility, and observability; however, complexity has a strong negative correlation. According to the data, customers, particularly the younger generation, are more likely to choose green items, with environmental effects being a critical issue. However, the complex nature of green goods has little effect on their attitude. Finally, the findings of this study add to the current body of knowledge on green purchasing behaviour while providing actionable recommendations for promoting sustainable consumption habits in Pakistan.
