Abstract
Environmental impact resulting from human actions has profound effects on both our collective well-being and individual lives. The repercussions of environmental degradation, encompassing issues like air pollution, deforestation, and the formidable implications of climate change, underscore the pivotal role of human activity. Within this context, the corporate realm has recognized the significance of societal and environmental responsibilities, prompting the emergence of concepts like "Green Marketing" and "Environment Marketing" as critical components of future business strategies. In the contemporary business landscape, terms such as "go green," "environmentally friendly," "environmental preservation," and "energy conservation" have gained substantial prominence. Safeguarding our natural surroundings has transitioned from being a desirable option to an imperative, particularly within the intricate fabric of today's globalized society. Green Marketing has emerged as a conceptual cornerstone that empowers businesses to harmonize economic pursuits with a steadfast commitment to environmental preservation. The integration of ecologically conscientious practices has become non-negotiable for any forward-looking enterprise. Moreover, numerous enterprises have harnessed the potential of Green Marketing as a means to outpace competitors. By offering innovative products crafted from recycled, renewable, and repurposed materials, these businesses have demonstrated their commitment to sustainable practices, effectively leveraging their offerings to gain competitive advantage.
