“…Shrum et al [78] observed that an individual's concern or interest in environmental issues increases their ecological awareness of climate change. Yadav et al [79] integrated the theory of rational and planned behaviour into the context of sustainable consumer behaviour. The results pertaining to ecological consciousness obtained in the present study are consistent with previous studies in which subjective experience and perceived behavioural control were integrated.…”

Climate change is a major threat to humanity and endangers our way of life. If a critical mass of consumers can consider the consequences of the daily consumption choices they make, we could hope for a better future. From a neuroethical viewpoint, we examined how a consumer’s ecological consciousness can be awakened, leading to eco-friendly consumption. This study used the neuroscientific method of event-related potentials (ERP) to explore the neural mechanisms underlying climate change. Both frontal N300 and posterior P300 ERP components occur under climate change conditions which is a neural representation of ecological consciousness. Consumers who exhibited simultaneous frontal N300 and posterior P300 activation were more likely than those who did not to make eco-friendly product choices during the consumption tasks. Using these neurobehavioral findings, marketers can promote eco-friendly consumption based on ecological consciousness.

“…In the context of CE, consumer behavior implicitly encompasses aspects of SC [50], and consumer intervention can be reflected in the basic concept of the 3Rs [6] and its variants [50]. In other words, the consumer has a sustainable behavior when repairing, extending the shelf life of the product even considering the implicit design limitations [70], how difficult it is to allocate time to repair, and how easy it is to purchase a new product online [71]; recycling, sending products to a treatment process so that their materials serve as raw material for new materials or products, contemplating the differences in product categories and the type of recycling of these [72]; rethinking/reusing, considering the financial and social benefits of renting or buying second-hand products [45,73,74]; refurbishing a product, understood as improving the functional performance of an item (e.g., laptop), to keep it updated [75]; or remanufacturing, which involves the producer restores the product preserving its original function and added value [76].

“…A concrete analysis of the interaction of the sustainable consumer with key aspects of CE is required. For example, it is not very useful to sell a product made from recycled materials if consumers are not willing to buy them [72]; therefore, it is necessary to scientifically investigate the factors that condition the success of such products, considering geographical, demographic, psychographic variables, among others. In another example, if they perceive remanufactured products as inferior or are unwilling to buy them for a profitable price [76], there would be no real incentive for companies to perform such an action of the circular ecosystem.…”

Sustainable Consumption: Conceptualization and Characterization of the Complexity of “Being” a Sustainable Consumer—A Systematic Review of the Scientific Literature

Sustainable consumption is a key concept in society and the environment due to its direct relationship with sustainable development; its importance lies in the decoupling of consumption and economic growth with environmental damage and its involvement with various behavioral disciplines and ecological concepts. Therefore, this research aims to analyze scientific articles linked to key perspectives of the concept under discussion. Due to the scope of the objective of systematizing the existing scientific literature on sustainable consumption in Scopus and Web of Science, a systematic review was carried out, including 104 scientific articles considering criteria that respond to the questions posed. It is concluded that sustainable consumption is a complex and nebulous concept whose theoretical fragmentation gives it breadth but generates overlapping concepts. Likewise, the link between the consumer and the circular economy and the difficulties behind such interaction was denoted. The complexity of being a green consumer in current times and the aspects that comprise it were also covered, and the importance, role, and tools of the government in sustainable consumption. Thus, it is expected to generate a consistent theoretical framework facilitating the creation of new applied research, considering the perspectives highlighted through this analysis.

“…Consumers currently have a strong interest in sustainable consumption (Hosta and Zabkar, 2021;Yadav et al, 2022). Manufacturers and retailers have responded to this trend by integrating sustainability initiatives, such as the development and launch of new products and brands with positive health, social and environmental attributes (Swaen et al, 2021).…”

What claims best convey the quality of retailers' standard private label products?

PurposeConsumers consider retailers' standard private labels (PLs) as relevant choices, compared to national brands (NBs), and their demand for private label products has increased significantly over the past decade. At the same time, PLs have undergone a profound transformation as retailers have enhanced their quality. The goal of this research is to investigate the impact of claims used to highlight the enhanced quality of standard PL products on consumers' perceptions and behaviours.Design/methodology/approachA between-subjects experiment, set in a store laboratory, was used to study consumers' perceptions and behaviours. The impact of six non-nutrition claims – linked, according to the self-other trade-off, either to concern for consumers' health (internal to the self) or for the environment (external to the self) – on consumers' reactions has been studied. Then, the data collected were analysed with partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThis research indicates that health claims retailers make to echo consumers' own concerns have positive impacts at three basic levels: the brand, the retail chain and the store. It also highlights the central role of trust in standard PLs, which, once activated by the non-nutrition claims made by retailers and the increase in the quality of standard PLs thus inferred by consumers, can improve consumers' attitude toward the food retailers' stores and reinforce their intentions to visit again and recommend them.Research limitations/implicationsFrom a theoretical perspective, this research supplements cue utilisation theory as it applies this framework to standard PLs and establishes that consumers use extrinsic cues (i.e. communications on non-nutrition claims) to infer the quality of standard PL brand products. It also complements scant studies on retailers' corporate social responsibility (CSR) with quality aspects of their own labels as it specifies the levers (i.e. the claims) to use to improve retailers' CSR image and consumers' behaviours.Practical implicationsFrom a managerial perspective, this research highlights the superiority of retailers' claims related to consumer health and, more specifically, of claims highlighting the natural origin of ingredients. For this specific assertion, trust in the standard PL and the CSR image of the brand have direct and indirect impacts, via attitude toward the stores, on consumers' intentions to return to and to recommend these stores.Originality/valueDespite the increasing importance of products as effective tools for communicating companies' CSR policies, scant research has been conducted on consumers' reactions to non-nutrition claims, which are increasingly prominent in the marketplace.
