To pursuit sustainability in all business operations is a notable challenge for firms to survive in today's competitive environment. Customers are the important stakeholders who are becoming mindful regarding the environment-friendly actions of the organizations. This study investigates the impact of green manufacturing practices (GMP) within two streams-pollution prevention practices (PPP) and product stewardship practices (PSP)-on ecological conscious consumer behavior (ECCB) along with the mediation influence of green product innovation (GPI). Data were gathered from Chinese consumers from those who prefer environment-friendly products. The findings affirmed the positive nexus between GMP and ECCB. Second, a positive mediation influence of GPI was observed between GMP and ECCB. The multidimensional analysis revealed the positive relationships of PPP and PSP on ECCB, respectively. The findings furnish implications for green production on how organizations can accomplish stakeholder engagement incorporating green practices-GMP, PPP, PSP, and GPI-in their manufacturing operations. This study further suggests future avenues for academicians and practitioners.

“…This leads us to test the measurement invariance as well as structural invariance. To understand the moderating influence of price sensitivity (PS), we divided our sample into two sub-samples of high (n= 242) and low PS (n=238) by employing a median split procedure (Brochado et al, 2017;Kautish et al, 2019). For the unconstrained structural, multigroup fit was tested to establish causality: x 2 = 572.563; df= 267; p=0.000; RMSEA= 0.0238; CFI= 0.91; TLI= 0.933; IFI= 0.92.…”

“…They have tried, indeed, to develop a global culture of environment respect, ecological constraints and sustainable development. Over the last few years, several research works have been conducted along this direction (Chen and Chang, 2012;Sala et al, 2017;Sangroya and Nayak, 2017;Brochado et al, 2017). In particular, discussions about consuming green products have become increasingly important for researchers and managers (Zhu et al, 2013;Jaiswal and Kant, 2018).…”

This paper aims to study a set of motives favoring purchase behavior while testing the mediating role of purchase intention within the context of green consumption. The literature review enabled us to distinguish mostly the following motives: health consciousness, environmental concern and the consumer’s social influence. The moderating roles of perceived consumer effectiveness and price sensitivity are also examined. The findings of a quantitative study involving 480 Tunisian consumers of green products indicate that protecting their health, supporting their environment and expressing their social affiliation are important motives of the consumers’ intention to buy green products. The intensity of these relationships is significantly moderated by the ‘consumer perceived effectiveness’. Thus, for the Tunisian consumer, a purchase intention is not consistent with a purchase behavior. It is indeed affected, in particular, by price sensitivity. The present study provides managerial insights for green marketers to operate in fast growing emerging markets.

“…Starting in June 2010, all green pre-packaged products produced in EU countries must be labelled with the leaf with those 12 stars of the European Union on a green background and be accompanied by a quality certificate (Dinu et al, 2012;Ahmad et al, 2012). On the green label, the name and address of the manufacturer or processor must be mentioned, the product name, including the green production method used, the name and mark of the inspection and certification body (Brochado, Teiga and Oliveira-Brochado, 2017).…”

Being green is not a trend, as it is not a luxury. Being green has become a necessity. Sustainable consumption, the impact of our own consumption on the environment, the legacy we leave to future generations become goals and guide behaviors. Our research starts from a three-month longitudinal analysis of the consumption of 80 families (of which 40 with children up to 14 years, respectively 40 without children) from the eight counties in Moldavia-Romania, in order to explore if we can talk about a green consumption of the population in urban areas. Being exploratory, the research presents a perspective offered by the panel of subjects selected by the snowball method. The selected respondents are the ones who make the decision to buy food in their family. Ten categories of foods were selected, for each obtaining consumption data, motivations and behaviors in order to obtain the weight in which green foods are included in the consumption. The research findings show that the main green products consumers are women and children. Most of those products don't come from supermarket or specialized stores, but from their own household, from their parents or grandparents or they are purchased from the street market. Romanian do not trust the big commercial chains, but in peasants, small or well-known entrepreneurs. Being more expensive, green products are still considered to be a luxury, but there is an increase in consumption, especially after the correct awareness of the difference between them and common products.
