“…Higher costs are still the main concern of consumers, especially in developing countries. In such countries, product selection is, therefore, driven by domestic interests rather than by the products' environmental impacts (Guevara et al, 1997). At this stage, environmental or eco-labeling become crucially important for informing consumers about the environmental background of products or services to make them aware of environmentally harmful products and change their preferences in favor of environmentally friendly products (Anderson, 1990;Gallastegui, 2002).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore different factors influencing young consumers’ approaches to eco-labeled products in an emerging country, Turkey. Design/methodology/approach Relevant measures were adapted from the previous literature to assess key constructs on environment and eco-label perceptions. First, an exploratory factor analysis was employed for identifying the key dimensions, and then structural equation modeling was conducted for testing the research hypotheses. Findings The findings reveal that the existence of perceived environmental knowledge has an influence on eco-labeled product purchase tendencies, with environmental concern (EC) having a significant mediating effect. Practical implications This study contributes to practice by addressing perceptual factors affecting young consumers in emerging markets such as Turkey. This relationship can be utilized to increase the tendency to purchase eco-labeled products to create EC enhancing programs in education in addition to environmental knowledge leveraging ones. Besides, these findings may also be beneficial in eco-labeled product marketing efforts. Originality/value This study provides value for the literature by investigating the perception of young consumers in an emerging market specifically, and adopts a more specific eco-label focus, which it integrates with an environmental perspective.

“…Despite the emergence of environmentally conscious consumers in the West during the 1960s and 1970s (in response to the environmental impacts of industrial development), some consumers are still not actively engaged in green consumer groups [6]. The main barrier for these consumers, particularly in developing countries, is still the higher costs associated with environmentally friendly products, as highlighted by [7].…”

This research paper explores the role of environmental labelling in shaping the purchasing and consumption behaviours of Generation Z. The study aims to provide insights into the comprehension, perception, and attitude of this generation towards environmental labelling and to investigate how these factors impact their purchasing decisions. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the role of environmental labelling in shaping the behaviours of young consumers and suggest that it still matters to this generation. The study also highlights the importance of trust in environmental labelling for influencing purchasing decisions. Our research paper provides new insights into the role of environmental labelling in shaping the behaviours of Generation Z, which is a critical demographic group for sustainable consumption. We found that this generation is highly aware of environmental issues and is motivated to make eco-friendly purchasing decisions. However, our study also highlights that the lack of trust in environmental labelling can be a significant barrier to sustainable consumption. This study contributes to the literature on environmental labelling and consumer behaviour among Generation Z.

Tüketicilerde giderek artan çevre bilinci, çevreye daha az zarar veren ürün ve hizmetleri tercih etmelerine yol açmış; bunun sonucu olarak da işletmelerin sundukları ürün ve hizmetlerin daha “çevre dostu” olduğunu iddia eden etiket, işaret, sembol, logo vb. kullanarak tüketicilerin tercihlerine etki etmeye başlamıştır. Tüketicilerin çevreye ilişkin artan kaygıları, işletmeler kadar, çevre kuruluşları ve devletlerin de dikkatini çekmiş ve tüketicilerin bilinçli satın alma kararları yoluyla çevre üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri önemli ölçüde azaltabilecekleri görüşüyle sürdürülebilir ürünleri teşvik etme yoluna gitmiştir. Ancak işletmelerin, iddia ettikleri gibi çevreci olup olmadıklarının da tespiti de önemli bir sorun işareti teşkil etmektedir. Tüketicilerin korunması açısından ürünlerin ve hizmetlerin çevresel etkilerine ilişkin iddiaları doğrulayan çevre etiketi sistemi ortaya çıkmıştır. Çevre etiketi ile; işletmeler tarafından sunulan mal ve hizmetlere ilişkin çevresel iddiaların tamamen belli standartlara ve kanıtlara dayalı olarak doğruluğu desteklenmekte ve tüketicilerin de güven ile bu tür ürün ve hizmetleri seçmesinin önü açılmaktadır. Çevre etiketine sahip olan AB mevzuatı ile uyum sürecinde, 2018 yılında Türkiye “Çevre Etiketi Yönetmeliği” ile Türkiye Çevre Etiketi Sistemi (TÇES) hayata geçirmiştir. Ülkemiz açısından son derece yeni olan çevre etiketini de halihazırda sadece 10 işletmenin aldığı gözlemlenmiştir. Çalışmamızda öncelikle, çevre etiketi tanıtılacak ve çevre etiketi sistemi ve mevzuatı incelenecektir. Söz konusu sistemin ülkemizde de yeni olması göz önüne alınarak hukuki niteliğine ilişkin değerlendirme yapılacaktır. Söz konusu değerlendirme, çevre etiketin, bir “işaret, logo” olmasından yola çıkılarak Sınai Mülkiyet Kanunu ışığında bir marka olup olmadığı temelinde yapılacaktır. Bu noktada çevre etiketinin ortak marka veya garanti markası olup olmadığı incelenecektir.
