PREFACE
Practical knowledge and experience make the man succeed. It is much more important than the
theoretical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge only clears the fundamental concepts of
management but their application in actual business environment remains doubtful without
practical knowledge. Hence, combination of both practical and theoretical knowledge is
necessary before reaching the ultimate goal. With a view to attain excellence in management
education and to gain a sustainable competitive advantage, I got an opportunity to increase my
knowledge on “A Study of Consumer Attitude and Awareness towards Green Marketing”
so that I can bridge up the gap between simply knowing textbook literature and practicality of
corporate world.
It’s a great privilege and dignity for me of having such a live project to conduct.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
No doubt, there is no substitute for handwork, but there is relationship between efforts, support
and hard work. A person who makes a proper coordination with these three words his way of
success becomes easier and achievable. Similarly, with the sincere guidance and support of some
well known personalities, I have completed my Winter Project. I would like to take this
opportunity to express my deep sense of regards to all these persons who have helped me in the
completion of this project report.
I express my gratitude to my training coordinators Miss Rakhi Goyal, for always taking out time
for me and helping me throughout the entire period.
Last but not the least, I would like to express my gratitude towards my parents and friends for
their help, courage and guidance in completion of project report.

INTRODUCTION of Green Marketing
Introduction:
According to the American Marketing Association, green marketing is the marketing of products
that are presumed to be environmentally safe. It incorporates a broad range of activities,
including product modification, changes to the production process, packaging changes, as well as
modifying advertising. Yet defining green marketing is not a simple task where several meanings
intersect and contradict each other. An example of this will be the existence of varying social,
environmental and retail definitions attached to this term. Other similar terms used are
environmental marketing and ecological marketing.
Thus “Green Marketing” refers to holistic marketing concept wherein the production, marketing
consumption an disposal of products and services happen in a manner that is less detrimental to
the environment with growing awareness about the implications of global warming, non
biodegradable solid waste, harmful impact of pollutants etc., both marketers and consumers are
becoming.
Meaning of Green Marketing
It is believed that green marketing refers solely to the promotion or advertising of products
which are with environmental friendly. Terms like Phosphate Free, Recyclable, Refillable,
Ozone Friendly, and Environmentally Friendly are some of the expressions consumers most
frequently associate with green marketing. In reality green marketing is a much wider concept,
one that can be applied to consumer goods, industrial goods and even service
We can say that green marketing accommodates a wide range of activities, including product
modification, improvements to the production process, packaging enhancements, as well as
modifying advertising to suit the concept. While green marketing came into prominence in the
late 1980s and early 1990s, it was first discussed much earlier.
The American Marketing Association (AMA) held the first workshop on “Ecological Marketing”
in 1975. The proceedings of this workshop resulted in one of the first books on green marketing
entitled “Ecological Marketing” [Henion and Kinnear 1976a]. Since then a number of other
books on the title have been published [Charter 1992, Coddington 1993, Ottman 1993].
The AMA workshop attempted to bring together academics, practitioners, and public policy
makers to examine marketing’s impact on the natural environment. At this workshop ecological
marketing was defined as: “the study of the positive and negative aspects of marketing activities
on pollution, energy depletion and non energy resource depletion.” [Henion and Kinnear 1976b,
1]
This definition has three key components,
1. Green marketing is a subset of the overall marketing activity;
2. Green marketing investigates both the positive and negative activities; and
3. Green marketing encompasses a narrow range of environmental issues.
Definition:
 According to Pride and Ferrell Green marketing, also alternatively known as
environmental marketing and sustainable marketing, refers to an organization's efforts
at designing, promoting, pricing and distributing products that will not harm the
environment
 According to Polonskydefines green marketing as .all activities designed to generate
and facilitate any exchanges intended to satisfy human needs or wants, such that the
satisfaction of these needs and wants occurs, with minimal detrimental impact on the
natural environment.
 According to Elkington defines green consumer as one who avoids products that are
likely to endanger the health of the consumer or others; cause significant damage to the
environment during manufacture, use or disposal; consume a disproportionate amount
of energy; cause unnecessary waste; use materials derived from threatened species or
environments; involve unnecessary use of, or cruelty to animals; adversely affect other
countries.
Evolution of Green Marketing
The green marketing has evolved over a period of time. As per Peattie (2001), the evolution of
green marketing has three phases. First phase was called as “Ecological” green marketing, and
this is the phase where all marketing activities were concerned to help environment problems and
provide solution for environmental problems. Second phase was “Environmental” green
marketing and the focus shifted on clean technology that involved designing of innovative new
products, which take care of pollution and waste issues. Third phase was “Sustainable” green
marketing. It came into prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000.
Importance of green marketing
Green marketing offers business bottom line incentives and top line growth
possibilities. While modification of business or production processes may involve
start-up costs, it will save money in the long term. For example the cost of
installing solar energy is an investment in future energy cost savings. Companies
that develop new and improved products and services with environmental impacts
in mind give themselves access to new markets, substantially increase profits and
enjoy competitive advantages over those marketing non- environmentally
responsible alternatives.
When looking through the literature there are several suggested reasons for firms
increased use of Green Marketing. Five possible reasons are as follows:
1.Organizations perceives environmental marketing to be an opportunity that can
be used to achieve its objectives.
2. Organizations believe they have a moral obligation to be more socially
responsible.
3. Governmental bodies are forcing firms to become more
responsible.
4. Competitors' environmental activities pressure firms to change their
environmental marketing activities.
5. Cost factors associated with waste disposal, or reductions in material usage forces
firms to modify their behavior.
Golden Rules for GREEN MARKETING:
1. KNOW YOU'RE CUSTOMER: Make sure that the consumer is aware of and
concerned about the issues that your product attempts to address, (Whirlpool learned
the hard way that consumers wouldn't pay a premium for a CFC-free refrigerator
because consumers didn‘t know what CFCs were.).
2. EDUCATING YOUR CUSTOMERS: isn't just a matter of letting people know
you're doing whatever you're doing to protect the environment, but also a matter
of letting them know why it matters. Otherwise, for a significant portion of your
target market, it's a case of "So what?" and your green marketing campaign goes
nowhere.
3. BEING GENUINE & TRANSPARENT: means that a) you are actually doing
what you claim to be doing in your green marketing campaign and b) the rest of your
business policies are consistent with whatever you are doing that's environmentally
friendly. Both these conditions have to be met for your business to establish the kind
of environmental credentials that will allow a green marketing campaign to succeed.
4. REASSURE THE BUYER: Consumers must be made to believe that the
product performs the job it's supposed to do-they won't forego product quality in the
name of the environment.
5. CONSIDER YOUR PRICING: If you're charging a premium for your product-
and many environmentally preferable products cost more due to economies of scale
and use of higher- quality ingredients-make sure those consumers can afford the
premium and feel it's worth it.
6. GIVING YOUR CUSTOMERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE:
means personalizing the benefits of your environmentally friendly actions, normally
through letting the customer take part in positive environmental action
List of big Companies going green
In recent years, many big-name companies have realized their way towards more sustainable and
eco-friendly business practices. Following are well-known companies that are leading the green
revolution. In some cases willingly, in other cases somewhat unwillingly, but in all cases green.
1. Bank of America
Bank of America is proving that eco-friendly operations can coexist with business
growth.According to their corporate website, the company reduced paper use by 32% from 2000-
2005, despite a 24% growth in their customer base! Bank of America also runs an internal
recycling program that recycles 30,000 tons of paper each year, good for saving roughly 200,000
trees for each year of the program’s operation. As if that weren’t enough, the company also
offers employees a $3,000 cash back reward for buying hybrid vehicles.
2. Ceres
While not technically a business itself, Ceres has advised some of the nation’s biggest
corporations and investors on the environmental impact of their operations. Having billed
themselves as “the largest coalition of investors, environmental and public interest organizations
in North America“, the organization is primarily focused on ensuring that companies accurately
disclose the environmental aspects of their business practices to investors and shareholders.
Major achievements thus far include persuading Dell Computer to support national product “take
back” legislation and convincing Bank of America to spend $20 billion on the growth of eco-
friendly business practices.
3. General Electric
General Electric’s presence on this list might surprise you, but the steps they have taken toward
green operations are undeniable. Since 2006, the company has sold over $12 billion of its
Ecomagination products (including solar panels). For those who are still upset at GE’s polluting
of the Hudson River with polychlorinated biphenyls, the company is also making headway on an
ambitious cleanup of that area. Barring further setbacks, the river should be cleaned up to a much
better state in just a couple of years!
4. Dupont
Dupont is another company that has drawn the ire of green advocates for many, many years.
However, it now seems that they are taking strides toward more sustainable operations. In
addition to drastically lowering its emissions of airborne carcinogens and greenhouse gases,
Dupont has appointed an ex-Greenpeace head as an adviser to the board. And true to its word,
the company successfully reduced greenhouse gas emissions during the 90’s by 63% – far ahead
of the timetable set forth in the controversial Kyoto Protocol.
5. Innovest
Innovest has boldly set out to “reengineer the DNA of Wall Street”, according to executive
managing director Matthew J. Kiernan. As William Grieder explains in his book “The Soul of
Capitalism”, Innovest grades publicly traded companies for such things as its track record in
hazardous waste disposals and past pollution. The overall goal is to give investors a quick gauge
on the true eco-friendliness of the companies they are investing in. Interestingly, early data seem
to indicate that companies with higher “EcoValue” rankings outperform lower ranked companies
as stocks, boasting returns 1.5 to 2.4 percent higher.
6. McDonalds
Time was not long ago when McDonalds wouldn’t have come within striking distance of making
this list. However, the increasing public shift toward greener living has sent a clear signal to the
powers that be at the popular fast-food chain. Instead of ravaging the natural habitats of animals,
McDonalds now works in close collaboration with PETA on systematically reforming its
business practices to be more humane and friendly to the environment in which they operate.
7. Home Depot
Home Depot is another ex-offender who has taken great pains to turn things around. Once the
Rainforest Action Network identified the company as the world’s largest retailer of old-growth
wood products, demonstrations and protests unfolded at Home Depot stores around the nation.
When the outcry reached the point of 45,000 customer calls and letters, the bigwigs at Home
Depot decided that enough was enough. Within months, the company rolled out a new “no old-
growth sales” policy to ensure consumers and activists that the days of harvesting trees from old-
growth rainforests were over.
8 . Anheuser-Busch
Most people don’t expect much in the way of environmental awareness from their beer company,
but that hasn’t stopped Anheuser-Busch from delivering. In his landmark text “Natural
Capitalism”, author Paul Hawken shines light on the fact that Busch now saves 21 million
pounds of metal per year by trimming an eigth of an inch off the diameter of its beer cans. The
best news for beer enthusiasts? “The trimming doesn’t reduce the volume of beer one bit”, says
Hawken.
9. Pratt & Whitney
Pratt & Whitney offers another inspiring story of how much raw materials can be saved – and
pollution avoided – with a little old-fashioned, hard-nosed ingenuity. As “Natural Capitalism”
explains, Pratt & Whitney used to scrap 90 percent of its ingots (that’s right, almost all) in the
process of manufacturing jet engine blades. This massive waste continued unabated until
someone at Pratt & Whitney had the bright idea to have the supplier simply cast the ingots into
ready-made blade-like shapes. This one seemingly small change proved to be transformative, and
has lowered the amount of wasted ingots and factory emissions a great deal.
10. Starbucks
Starbucks has green advocates smiling about its “bean-to-cup” approach, which stresses top
efficiency at each link of its global supply chain. By all measures the program appears to be a
great success, with the company’s decision to use coffee cup sleeves made of recycled paper
saving roughly 78,000 trees per year since 2006. Starbucks has also partnered up with many
environmental organizations, from Conservation International to the Earthwatch Institute, in
efforts to do right by the communities it operates in.
Green marketing mix
A model green marketing mix contains four "P's":
 Product: A producer should offer ecological products which not only must not contaminate
the environment but should protect it and even liquidate existing environmental damages.
 Price: Prices for such products may be a little higher than conventional alternatives. But
target groups like for example LOHAS are willing to pay extra for green products.
 Place: A distribution logistics is of crucial importance; main focus is on ecological
packaging. Marketing local and seasonal products e.g. vegetables from regional farms is
more easy to be marketed “green” than products imported.
 Promotion: A communication with the market should put stress on environmental aspects,
for example that the company possesses a CP certificate or is ISO 14000 certified. This may
be publicized to improve a firm’s image. Furthermore, the fact that a company spends
expenditures on environmental protection should be advertised. Third, sponsoring the natural
environment is also very important. And last but not least, ecological products will probably
require special sales promotions.
Additional social marketing "P's" that are used in this process are:
 Publics: Effective Social Marketing knows its audience, and can appeal to multiple groups
of people. "Public" is the external and internal groups involved in the program. External
publics include the target audience, secondary audiences, policymakers, and gatekeepers,
while the internal publics are those who are involved in some way with either approval or
implementation of the program.
 Partnership: Most social change issues, including "green" initiatives, are too complex for
one person or group to handle. Associating with other groups and initiatives to team up
strengthens the chance of efficacy.
 Policy: Social marketing programs can do well in motivating individual behavior change, but
that is difficult to sustain unless the environment they're in supports that change for the long
run. Often, policy change is needed, and media advocacy programs can be an effective
complement to a social marketing program.
 Purse Strings: How much will this strategic effort cost? Who is funding the effort?
The level of greening—strategic, quasi-strategic, or tactical—dictates what activities should be
undertaken by a company. Strategic greening in one area may or may not be leveraged
effectively in others. A firm could make substantial changes in production processes but opt not
to leverage them by positioning itself as an environmental leader. So although strategic greening
is not necessarily strategically integrated into all marketing activities, it is nevertheless strategic
in the product area.
Green, environmental and eco-marketing are part of the new marketing approaches which do not
just refocus, adjust or enhance existing marketing thinking and practice, but seek to challenge
those approaches and provide a substantially different perspective. In more detail green,
environmental and eco-marketing belong to the group of approaches which seek to address the
lack of fit between marketing as it is currently practiced and the ecological and social realities of
the wider marketing environment.
Review of literature
REVIEW OF EXISTING LITERATURE
Ginsberg, J.M. & Bloom, P.N. (2004) in his article, “Choosing the Right Green-Marketing
Strategy”, stated that Green marketing has not lived up to the hopes and dreams of many
managers and activists. Although public opinion polls consistently show that consumers prefers
to choose a green product over less eco-friendly to the environment when all other things are
equal, those “other things” are rarely equal in the minds of consumers. It conclude that it is to be
always keep in mind that consumers are not willing to compromise on traditional product
attributes, such as conveni ence, availability, price, quality and performance. Rather it is
important to understand, however, that there is no single green-marketing strategy that is right
for every firm. It is suggested that companies should follow one of four strategies, depending on
market and competitive conditions, from the relatively passive and silent “lean green” approach
to the more aggressive and visible “extreme green” approach - with “defensive green” and
“shaded green” in between. Business personnel’s who understand these strategies and the
beneath underlying reasoning behind them will be better prepared to help their firms benefit from
an eco- friendly approach to marketing.
The study by Ottaman, (1993) and Ken Peattie, (1993) examines and found that conventional
marketing is out and green marketing is in. In the developed countries, the emergence of
environmental consciousness that followed Earth Day in 1990 washed over the marketplace
rapidly. In poll after poll, consumers claim they are willing to change their buying habits – and
even pay more for products – to protect the environment (Pearce, 1990; Coddington, 1993;
Davis, 1993; McDougall, 1993; Ottoman, 1993).
Vasanthkumar N. Bhat (1993) suggests as inputs, manufacturing processes, distribution, use
and disposal methods are decided during the design stage, hence company going out with a green
marketing program must start with green design. Also concluded source reduction and waste
management strategies to cut down wastes, and also emphasize a method to compare green
design alternatives which can provide designers with guidance to select superior designs. As a
product must meet several criteria, suggests a concurrent rather than sequential product
development approach. Concludes with tips for top management to improve green design in their
organizations.
Elham Rahbar (et al , 2011) proposes to determine the effect of green marketing tools on
consumer’s actual purchase behaviour in case of Penang (Malaysia). A survey was carried out on
250 Chinese, Malasian, Indian and other races that represent the Penang population. Factor
analysis, Cronbach alpha and multiple regressions were used to identify factors impact on
Penang consumers actual purchase behaviour. The result revealed that customer’s trust in eco-
label and eco-brand and their perception of eco-brand show positive and significant impact on
their actual purchase behaviour.
Elkington (1994: 93) ,defines green consumer as one who avoids products that are likely to
endanger the health of the consumer or others; cause significant damage to the environment
during manufacture, use or disposal; consume a disproportionate amount of energy; cause
unnecessary waste; use materials derived from threatened species or environments; involve
unnecessary use of, or cruelty to animals; adversely affect other countries. According to the Joel
makeover (a writer, speaker and strategist on clean technology and green marketing), green
marketing faces a lot of challenges because of lack of standards and public consensus to what
constitutes “Green”.
Peattie (2001), the evolution of green marketing has three phases. First phase was termed as
“Ecological” green marketing, and during this period all marketing activities were concerned to
help environment problems and provide remedies for environmental problems. Second phase
was “Environmental” green marketing and the focus shifted on clean technology that involved
designing of innovative new products, which take care of pollution and waste issues. Third phase
was “Sustainable” green marketing. It came into prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000.
Green marketing is a vital constituent of the holistic marketing concept. It is particularly
applicable to businesses that are directly dependent on the physical
Environment; for example, industries like fishing, processed foods, and tourism and adventure
sports. Changes in the physical environment may pose a threat to such industries. Many global
players in diverse businesses are now successfully implementing green marketing practices.
John Grant (2008) aims to look at how companies obtain a greener strategy and what is the
future of green marketing.
Research Methodology
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
What is research?
Research can be defined as a scientific and systematic search for pertaining information on a
specific topic. We define research as the systematic design, collection, analysis and reporting of
data and findings relevant to a specific situation facing the company. The main aim of research is
to find out the truth which has not been discovering yet.
TYPE OF RESEARCH: - Exploratory and Descriptive.
Exploratory research is a type of research conducted because a problem has not been clearly
defined. Exploratory research helps in determine the best research design, data collection method
and selection of subjects. Given its fundamental nature, exploratory research often concludes that
a perceived problem does not actually exist.
Its seeks to find out how people get along in the setting under question, what meaning they give
to their actions, and what issues concern them. The goal is to learn what is going on here?
On the other hand Descriptive research is aimed to find the complete description about an
existing problem or phenomenon.
RESEARCH DESIGN :-
A survey research method was the basic research design. I interact with personally to people
through questionnaire filling method. Questionnaire is having questions regarding the
respondent’s basic information such as name, age, etc. and get their response toward green
marketing.
Collection of data: collection of data is one of the most important parts of the research
methodology because the total research is based on it so a very careful effort is required for
collection of data of research study. There are two types of data:
A) Primary Data
B) Secondary Data
A) Primary data: it is collected for meeting the specific objectives of research study. For this
research “questionnaire method” was chosen. Data was also collected through employees
working in the organization and questions were asked from workers regarding their satisfaction
level regarding training &development. The type of questionnaire chosen was a mixed of
structured and unstructured questionnaire this was so because questions included in the
questionnaire was open ended and close ended type, since it was difficult to include all the
favorable alternatives in a question for a response.
To reduce the unnecessary length of the question only that alternative was taken was repetitive in
nature. Blank space was made in the same questionnaire at the necessary points to give opinions
& suggestions by the respondents.
B) Secondary data: any data which is available prior to the commencement of a research study
is known as secondary data. It refers to the information that has been collected by someone else,
often this include printed or published arts. It is collected trough:-
 Internet
 Company records
 Brochure
 Books
SAMPLE DESIGN:-
I completed my project through survey particular on Charkhi Dadri region. The sample size
consisting of 45 people of this region.
DATA PROCESSING:-
Daily data was entered into MS-Excel sheets. After the exhaustion of the specified geographical
area this data was analyzed using SPSS graphical and tabulation techniques.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
A project report is made due to some predicament or hidden aspects of any area. This is my
project related “A Study of Consumer Attitude and Awareness towards Green Marketing”
As society becomes more concerned with the natural environment, businesses have begun to
modify their process in an attempt to address society’s new issues. Some businesses have been
quick to accept the newer challenges or changes like environmental management, minimization
of the waste aligning with organizational activities. For a company to be successful in
implementing green marketing strategy, it should not forget attitude of consumers towards green
marketing. The outcome of this report may trigger the minds of marketer to give a thought for
adopting the suitable strategies which will give them a way to overcome major problems
associated with regular marketing techniques and make a shift to green marketing. Eventually the
marketers can save a lot on overhead costs and associated entities in the market

  • 1. A Project Report On “A Study of Consumer Attitude and Awareness towards Green Marketing” Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement For award of the degree of Master of Business Administration Under Supervision: - Submitted By:- Miss Rakhi Goyal Sonia Gupta Asst. Prof. K.A.I.M M.B.A 4th Sem Roll No. 13031 Kedarnath Aggarwal Institute of Management Charkhi Dadri, Dist. Bhiwani (Haryana)
  • 2. PREFACE Practical knowledge and experience make the man succeed. It is much more important than the theoretical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge only clears the fundamental concepts of management but their application in actual business environment remains doubtful without practical knowledge. Hence, combination of both practical and theoretical knowledge is necessary before reaching the ultimate goal. With a view to attain excellence in management education and to gain a sustainable competitive advantage, I got an opportunity to increase my knowledge on “A Study of Consumer Attitude and Awareness towards Green Marketing” so that I can bridge up the gap between simply knowing textbook literature and practicality of corporate world. It’s a great privilege and dignity for me of having such a live project to conduct.
  • 3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No doubt, there is no substitute for handwork, but there is relationship between efforts, support and hard work. A person who makes a proper coordination with these three words his way of success becomes easier and achievable. Similarly, with the sincere guidance and support of some well known personalities, I have completed my Winter Project. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep sense of regards to all these persons who have helped me in the completion of this project report. I express my gratitude to my training coordinators Miss Rakhi Goyal, for always taking out time for me and helping me throughout the entire period. Last but not the least, I would like to express my gratitude towards my parents and friends for their help, courage and guidance in completion of project report. (Sonia Gupta)

  • 6. INTRODUCTION of Green Marketing Introduction: According to the American Marketing Association, green marketing is the marketing of products that are presumed to be environmentally safe. It incorporates a broad range of activities, including product modification, changes to the production process, packaging changes, as well as modifying advertising. Yet defining green marketing is not a simple task where several meanings intersect and contradict each other. An example of this will be the existence of varying social, environmental and retail definitions attached to this term. Other similar terms used are environmental marketing and ecological marketing. Thus “Green Marketing” refers to holistic marketing concept wherein the production, marketing consumption an disposal of products and services happen in a manner that is less detrimental to the environment with growing awareness about the implications of global warming, non biodegradable solid waste, harmful impact of pollutants etc., both marketers and consumers are becoming. Meaning of Green Marketing It is believed that green marketing refers solely to the promotion or advertising of products which are with environmental friendly. Terms like Phosphate Free, Recyclable, Refillable, Ozone Friendly, and Environmentally Friendly are some of the expressions consumers most frequently associate with green marketing. In reality green marketing is a much wider concept, one that can be applied to consumer goods, industrial goods and even service We can say that green marketing accommodates a wide range of activities, including product modification, improvements to the production process, packaging enhancements, as well as modifying advertising to suit the concept. While green marketing came into prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was first discussed much earlier.
  • 7. The American Marketing Association (AMA) held the first workshop on “Ecological Marketing” in 1975. The proceedings of this workshop resulted in one of the first books on green marketing entitled “Ecological Marketing” [Henion and Kinnear 1976a]. Since then a number of other books on the title have been published [Charter 1992, Coddington 1993, Ottman 1993]. The AMA workshop attempted to bring together academics, practitioners, and public policy makers to examine marketing’s impact on the natural environment. At this workshop ecological marketing was defined as: “the study of the positive and negative aspects of marketing activities on pollution, energy depletion and non energy resource depletion.” [Henion and Kinnear 1976b, 1] This definition has three key components, 1. Green marketing is a subset of the overall marketing activity; 2. Green marketing investigates both the positive and negative activities; and 3. Green marketing encompasses a narrow range of environmental issues.
  • 8. Definition:  According to Pride and Ferrell Green marketing, also alternatively known as environmental marketing and sustainable marketing, refers to an organization's efforts at designing, promoting, pricing and distributing products that will not harm the environment  According to Polonskydefines green marketing as .all activities designed to generate and facilitate any exchanges intended to satisfy human needs or wants, such that the satisfaction of these needs and wants occurs, with minimal detrimental impact on the natural environment.  According to Elkington defines green consumer as one who avoids products that are likely to endanger the health of the consumer or others; cause significant damage to the environment during manufacture, use or disposal; consume a disproportionate amount of energy; cause unnecessary waste; use materials derived from threatened species or environments; involve unnecessary use of, or cruelty to animals; adversely affect other countries. Evolution of Green Marketing The green marketing has evolved over a period of time. As per Peattie (2001), the evolution of green marketing has three phases. First phase was called as “Ecological” green marketing, and this is the phase where all marketing activities were concerned to help environment problems and provide solution for environmental problems. Second phase was “Environmental” green marketing and the focus shifted on clean technology that involved designing of innovative new products, which take care of pollution and waste issues. Third phase was “Sustainable” green marketing. It came into prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000.
  • 9. Importance of green marketing Green marketing offers business bottom line incentives and top line growth possibilities. While modification of business or production processes may involve start-up costs, it will save money in the long term. For example the cost of installing solar energy is an investment in future energy cost savings. Companies that develop new and improved products and services with environmental impacts in mind give themselves access to new markets, substantially increase profits and enjoy competitive advantages over those marketing non- environmentally responsible alternatives. When looking through the literature there are several suggested reasons for firms increased use of Green Marketing. Five possible reasons are as follows: 1.Organizations perceives environmental marketing to be an opportunity that can be used to achieve its objectives. 2. Organizations believe they have a moral obligation to be more socially responsible. 3. Governmental bodies are forcing firms to become more responsible. 4. Competitors' environmental activities pressure firms to change their environmental marketing activities. 5. Cost factors associated with waste disposal, or reductions in material usage forces firms to modify their behavior.
  • 10. Golden Rules for GREEN MARKETING: 1. KNOW YOU'RE CUSTOMER: Make sure that the consumer is aware of and concerned about the issues that your product attempts to address, (Whirlpool learned the hard way that consumers wouldn't pay a premium for a CFC-free refrigerator because consumers didn‘t know what CFCs were.). 2. EDUCATING YOUR CUSTOMERS: isn't just a matter of letting people know you're doing whatever you're doing to protect the environment, but also a matter of letting them know why it matters. Otherwise, for a significant portion of your target market, it's a case of "So what?" and your green marketing campaign goes nowhere. 3. BEING GENUINE & TRANSPARENT: means that a) you are actually doing what you claim to be doing in your green marketing campaign and b) the rest of your business policies are consistent with whatever you are doing that's environmentally friendly. Both these conditions have to be met for your business to establish the kind of environmental credentials that will allow a green marketing campaign to succeed. 4. REASSURE THE BUYER: Consumers must be made to believe that the product performs the job it's supposed to do-they won't forego product quality in the name of the environment. 5. CONSIDER YOUR PRICING: If you're charging a premium for your product- and many environmentally preferable products cost more due to economies of scale and use of higher- quality ingredients-make sure those consumers can afford the premium and feel it's worth it. 6. GIVING YOUR CUSTOMERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE: means personalizing the benefits of your environmentally friendly actions, normally through letting the customer take part in positive environmental action
  • 11. List of big Companies going green In recent years, many big-name companies have realized their way towards more sustainable and eco-friendly business practices. Following are well-known companies that are leading the green revolution. In some cases willingly, in other cases somewhat unwillingly, but in all cases green. 1. Bank of America Bank of America is proving that eco-friendly operations can coexist with business growth.According to their corporate website, the company reduced paper use by 32% from 2000- 2005, despite a 24% growth in their customer base! Bank of America also runs an internal recycling program that recycles 30,000 tons of paper each year, good for saving roughly 200,000 trees for each year of the program’s operation. As if that weren’t enough, the company also offers employees a $3,000 cash back reward for buying hybrid vehicles. 2. Ceres While not technically a business itself, Ceres has advised some of the nation’s biggest corporations and investors on the environmental impact of their operations. Having billed themselves as “the largest coalition of investors, environmental and public interest organizations in North America“, the organization is primarily focused on ensuring that companies accurately disclose the environmental aspects of their business practices to investors and shareholders. Major achievements thus far include persuading Dell Computer to support national product “take
  • 12. back” legislation and convincing Bank of America to spend $20 billion on the growth of eco- friendly business practices. 3. General Electric General Electric’s presence on this list might surprise you, but the steps they have taken toward green operations are undeniable. Since 2006, the company has sold over $12 billion of its Ecomagination products (including solar panels). For those who are still upset at GE’s polluting of the Hudson River with polychlorinated biphenyls, the company is also making headway on an ambitious cleanup of that area. Barring further setbacks, the river should be cleaned up to a much better state in just a couple of years! 4. Dupont Dupont is another company that has drawn the ire of green advocates for many, many years. However, it now seems that they are taking strides toward more sustainable operations. In addition to drastically lowering its emissions of airborne carcinogens and greenhouse gases, Dupont has appointed an ex-Greenpeace head as an adviser to the board. And true to its word, the company successfully reduced greenhouse gas emissions during the 90’s by 63% – far ahead of the timetable set forth in the controversial Kyoto Protocol. 5. Innovest
  • 13. Innovest has boldly set out to “reengineer the DNA of Wall Street”, according to executive managing director Matthew J. Kiernan. As William Grieder explains in his book “The Soul of Capitalism”, Innovest grades publicly traded companies for such things as its track record in hazardous waste disposals and past pollution. The overall goal is to give investors a quick gauge on the true eco-friendliness of the companies they are investing in. Interestingly, early data seem to indicate that companies with higher “EcoValue” rankings outperform lower ranked companies as stocks, boasting returns 1.5 to 2.4 percent higher. 6. McDonalds Time was not long ago when McDonalds wouldn’t have come within striking distance of making this list. However, the increasing public shift toward greener living has sent a clear signal to the powers that be at the popular fast-food chain. Instead of ravaging the natural habitats of animals, McDonalds now works in close collaboration with PETA on systematically reforming its business practices to be more humane and friendly to the environment in which they operate. 7. Home Depot
  • 14. Home Depot is another ex-offender who has taken great pains to turn things around. Once the Rainforest Action Network identified the company as the world’s largest retailer of old-growth wood products, demonstrations and protests unfolded at Home Depot stores around the nation. When the outcry reached the point of 45,000 customer calls and letters, the bigwigs at Home Depot decided that enough was enough. Within months, the company rolled out a new “no old- growth sales” policy to ensure consumers and activists that the days of harvesting trees from old- growth rainforests were over. 8 . Anheuser-Busch Most people don’t expect much in the way of environmental awareness from their beer company, but that hasn’t stopped Anheuser-Busch from delivering. In his landmark text “Natural Capitalism”, author Paul Hawken shines light on the fact that Busch now saves 21 million pounds of metal per year by trimming an eigth of an inch off the diameter of its beer cans. The best news for beer enthusiasts? “The trimming doesn’t reduce the volume of beer one bit”, says Hawken. 9. Pratt & Whitney
  • 15. Pratt & Whitney offers another inspiring story of how much raw materials can be saved – and pollution avoided – with a little old-fashioned, hard-nosed ingenuity. As “Natural Capitalism” explains, Pratt & Whitney used to scrap 90 percent of its ingots (that’s right, almost all) in the process of manufacturing jet engine blades. This massive waste continued unabated until someone at Pratt & Whitney had the bright idea to have the supplier simply cast the ingots into ready-made blade-like shapes. This one seemingly small change proved to be transformative, and has lowered the amount of wasted ingots and factory emissions a great deal. 10. Starbucks Starbucks has green advocates smiling about its “bean-to-cup” approach, which stresses top efficiency at each link of its global supply chain. By all measures the program appears to be a great success, with the company’s decision to use coffee cup sleeves made of recycled paper saving roughly 78,000 trees per year since 2006. Starbucks has also partnered up with many environmental organizations, from Conservation International to the Earthwatch Institute, in efforts to do right by the communities it operates in.
  • 16. Green marketing mix A model green marketing mix contains four "P's":  Product: A producer should offer ecological products which not only must not contaminate the environment but should protect it and even liquidate existing environmental damages.  Price: Prices for such products may be a little higher than conventional alternatives. But target groups like for example LOHAS are willing to pay extra for green products.  Place: A distribution logistics is of crucial importance; main focus is on ecological packaging. Marketing local and seasonal products e.g. vegetables from regional farms is more easy to be marketed “green” than products imported.  Promotion: A communication with the market should put stress on environmental aspects, for example that the company possesses a CP certificate or is ISO 14000 certified. This may be publicized to improve a firm’s image. Furthermore, the fact that a company spends expenditures on environmental protection should be advertised. Third, sponsoring the natural environment is also very important. And last but not least, ecological products will probably require special sales promotions. Additional social marketing "P's" that are used in this process are:  Publics: Effective Social Marketing knows its audience, and can appeal to multiple groups of people. "Public" is the external and internal groups involved in the program. External publics include the target audience, secondary audiences, policymakers, and gatekeepers, while the internal publics are those who are involved in some way with either approval or implementation of the program.  Partnership: Most social change issues, including "green" initiatives, are too complex for one person or group to handle. Associating with other groups and initiatives to team up strengthens the chance of efficacy.  Policy: Social marketing programs can do well in motivating individual behavior change, but that is difficult to sustain unless the environment they're in supports that change for the long run. Often, policy change is needed, and media advocacy programs can be an effective complement to a social marketing program.
  • 17.  Purse Strings: How much will this strategic effort cost? Who is funding the effort? The level of greening—strategic, quasi-strategic, or tactical—dictates what activities should be undertaken by a company. Strategic greening in one area may or may not be leveraged effectively in others. A firm could make substantial changes in production processes but opt not to leverage them by positioning itself as an environmental leader. So although strategic greening is not necessarily strategically integrated into all marketing activities, it is nevertheless strategic in the product area.
  • 18.
  • 19. Green, environmental and eco-marketing are part of the new marketing approaches which do not just refocus, adjust or enhance existing marketing thinking and practice, but seek to challenge those approaches and provide a substantially different perspective. In more detail green, environmental and eco-marketing belong to the group of approaches which seek to address the lack of fit between marketing as it is currently practiced and the ecological and social realities of the wider marketing environment.
  • 21. REVIEW OF EXISTING LITERATURE Ginsberg, J.M. & Bloom, P.N. (2004) in his article, “Choosing the Right Green-Marketing Strategy”, stated that Green marketing has not lived up to the hopes and dreams of many managers and activists. Although public opinion polls consistently show that consumers prefers to choose a green product over less eco-friendly to the environment when all other things are equal, those “other things” are rarely equal in the minds of consumers. It conclude that it is to be always keep in mind that consumers are not willing to compromise on traditional product attributes, such as conveni ence, availability, price, quality and performance. Rather it is important to understand, however, that there is no single green-marketing strategy that is right for every firm. It is suggested that companies should follow one of four strategies, depending on market and competitive conditions, from the relatively passive and silent “lean green” approach to the more aggressive and visible “extreme green” approach - with “defensive green” and “shaded green” in between. Business personnel’s who understand these strategies and the beneath underlying reasoning behind them will be better prepared to help their firms benefit from an eco- friendly approach to marketing. The study by Ottaman, (1993) and Ken Peattie, (1993) examines and found that conventional marketing is out and green marketing is in. In the developed countries, the emergence of environmental consciousness that followed Earth Day in 1990 washed over the marketplace rapidly. In poll after poll, consumers claim they are willing to change their buying habits – and even pay more for products – to protect the environment (Pearce, 1990; Coddington, 1993; Davis, 1993; McDougall, 1993; Ottoman, 1993). Vasanthkumar N. Bhat (1993) suggests as inputs, manufacturing processes, distribution, use and disposal methods are decided during the design stage, hence company going out with a green marketing program must start with green design. Also concluded source reduction and waste management strategies to cut down wastes, and also emphasize a method to compare green design alternatives which can provide designers with guidance to select superior designs. As a
  • 22. product must meet several criteria, suggests a concurrent rather than sequential product development approach. Concludes with tips for top management to improve green design in their organizations. Elham Rahbar (et al , 2011) proposes to determine the effect of green marketing tools on consumer’s actual purchase behaviour in case of Penang (Malaysia). A survey was carried out on 250 Chinese, Malasian, Indian and other races that represent the Penang population. Factor analysis, Cronbach alpha and multiple regressions were used to identify factors impact on Penang consumers actual purchase behaviour. The result revealed that customer’s trust in eco- label and eco-brand and their perception of eco-brand show positive and significant impact on their actual purchase behaviour. Elkington (1994: 93) ,defines green consumer as one who avoids products that are likely to endanger the health of the consumer or others; cause significant damage to the environment during manufacture, use or disposal; consume a disproportionate amount of energy; cause unnecessary waste; use materials derived from threatened species or environments; involve unnecessary use of, or cruelty to animals; adversely affect other countries. According to the Joel makeover (a writer, speaker and strategist on clean technology and green marketing), green marketing faces a lot of challenges because of lack of standards and public consensus to what constitutes “Green”. Peattie (2001), the evolution of green marketing has three phases. First phase was termed as “Ecological” green marketing, and during this period all marketing activities were concerned to help environment problems and provide remedies for environmental problems. Second phase was “Environmental” green marketing and the focus shifted on clean technology that involved designing of innovative new products, which take care of pollution and waste issues. Third phase was “Sustainable” green marketing. It came into prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000. Green marketing is a vital constituent of the holistic marketing concept. It is particularly applicable to businesses that are directly dependent on the physical
  • 23. Environment; for example, industries like fishing, processed foods, and tourism and adventure sports. Changes in the physical environment may pose a threat to such industries. Many global players in diverse businesses are now successfully implementing green marketing practices. John Grant (2008) aims to look at how companies obtain a greener strategy and what is the future of green marketing.
  • 25. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: What is research? Research can be defined as a scientific and systematic search for pertaining information on a specific topic. We define research as the systematic design, collection, analysis and reporting of data and findings relevant to a specific situation facing the company. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which has not been discovering yet. TYPE OF RESEARCH: - Exploratory and Descriptive. Exploratory research is a type of research conducted because a problem has not been clearly defined. Exploratory research helps in determine the best research design, data collection method and selection of subjects. Given its fundamental nature, exploratory research often concludes that a perceived problem does not actually exist. Its seeks to find out how people get along in the setting under question, what meaning they give to their actions, and what issues concern them. The goal is to learn what is going on here? On the other hand Descriptive research is aimed to find the complete description about an existing problem or phenomenon. RESEARCH DESIGN :- A survey research method was the basic research design. I interact with personally to people through questionnaire filling method. Questionnaire is having questions regarding the respondent’s basic information such as name, age, etc. and get their response toward green marketing. Collection of data: collection of data is one of the most important parts of the research methodology because the total research is based on it so a very careful effort is required for collection of data of research study. There are two types of data: A) Primary Data
  • 26. B) Secondary Data A) Primary data: it is collected for meeting the specific objectives of research study. For this research “questionnaire method” was chosen. Data was also collected through employees working in the organization and questions were asked from workers regarding their satisfaction level regarding training &development. The type of questionnaire chosen was a mixed of structured and unstructured questionnaire this was so because questions included in the questionnaire was open ended and close ended type, since it was difficult to include all the favorable alternatives in a question for a response. To reduce the unnecessary length of the question only that alternative was taken was repetitive in nature. Blank space was made in the same questionnaire at the necessary points to give opinions & suggestions by the respondents. B) Secondary data: any data which is available prior to the commencement of a research study is known as secondary data. It refers to the information that has been collected by someone else, often this include printed or published arts. It is collected trough:-  Internet  Company records  Brochure  Books SAMPLE DESIGN:- I completed my project through survey particular on Charkhi Dadri region. The sample size consisting of 45 people of this region. DATA PROCESSING:- Daily data was entered into MS-Excel sheets. After the exhaustion of the specified geographical area this data was analyzed using SPSS graphical and tabulation techniques.

  • 28. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY A project report is made due to some predicament or hidden aspects of any area. This is my project related “A Study of Consumer Attitude and Awareness towards Green Marketing” As society becomes more concerned with the natural environment, businesses have begun to modify their process in an attempt to address society’s new issues. Some businesses have been quick to accept the newer challenges or changes like environmental management, minimization of the waste aligning with organizational activities. For a company to be successful in implementing green marketing strategy, it should not forget attitude of consumers towards green marketing. The outcome of this report may trigger the minds of marketer to give a thought for adopting the suitable strategies which will give them a way to overcome major problems associated with regular marketing techniques and make a shift to green marketing. Eventually the marketers can save a lot on overhead costs and associated entities in the market
