“…This is expected as literature and research support the importance of Fair Trade consumers possessing the traits of compassion, benevolence, and oneness or interconnectedness toward others (Musa & Gopalakrishna, 2022;Doran, 2009). These characteristics, according to the literature, might also be shared by individuals who hold PLB (Weiss, 1988(Weiss, , 1992(Weiss, , 1997(Weiss, , 2000(Weiss, , and 2004Newton, 1994 andWoods & Baruss, 2004;Meyersburg & McNally, 2011;Johnson et al, 2021;Dhiman, 2016;and Rezapouraghdam & colleagues, 2017).…”

“…These results are unsurprising as the literature supports the notion that those who experience memories, which they believe are from a past life may change their view of life, e.g., worldview and/or meaning of life (Woods & Baruss, 2004;Meyersburg & McNally, 2011;Johnson et al, 2021). These newly acquired views may, in theory, motivate them to support societal and environmental stewardship through purchasing Fair Trade products.…”

“…Meyersburg & McNally (2011) found that participants who experienced past life memory reported a "greater presence of meaning in their lives" (p. 1218). Johnson et al (2021) "found that reincarnation beliefs were significantly positively correlated with high-involvement sustainability practices [and] general environmental concern" (p.7).…”

“…Future research linking reincarnation beliefs to societal and environmental stewardship is encouraged, as Johnson et al (2021) proclaimed, "if people believe they will come back to the earth after death (albeit in a different form), they may be motivated to ensure the earth is habitable --even flourishing" (p.8).…”

As societal and environmental injustices are increasingly prevalent, expectations for organizations to implement sustainable practices, such as Fair Trade, have grown. Previous research has demonstrated that Fair Trade consumers have the emotional attribute of compassion and the educational trait of desire for sustainability awareness. This paper builds on prior research by introducing consumers’ spiritual attributes of past life belief (PLB) and positing the effect of PLB on Fair Trade consumption (FTC). The article is novel as it is the first to introduce and link the spiritual attribute of PLB to FTC while addressing racism, religious discrimination, sexism, classism, societal and environmental stewardship, and nationalism. The sample size for this study is one hundred fourteen, N=114. Results were analyzed through hierarchical multiple regression. It was found that PLB is positively related to FTC.
