Green marketing involves promoting environmentally friendly products and reducing a business's environmental impact. Some techniques include eco-labels, green campaigns, and using sustainable materials and processes. Many companies profiled implement initiatives like reducing waste and emissions, increasing recycling and renewable energy use, and developing more eco-friendly products. However, greenwashing, where companies overstate their environmental efforts, is a risk. While green marketing can help the environment and lower costs, high prices and low consumer awareness in India pose challenges to its popularity there.
