Sustainability marketing research on collective consumption practices has often examined on-site actions, leaving aside online activity within brand communities. This study focuses on the online practices of communities to explain on-site sustainable practices. Online communities, which address global sustainability issues in the market, have been considered platforms for ethical consumerism for some time, yet we lack an understanding of how consumer discourse translates into practice.
