Abstract

In the world of marketing nowadays, Green is the new Black. And if the growth in the marketing of green
credentials is anything to go by, then at the end of the green rainbow is Gold.

It appears that everyone is going grrrrrrreen.

With increased environmental awareness and a growing desire amongst consumers to ‘do the right
thing', and a rapidly increasing 'green' market, the temptation amongst marketers and advertisers to
overstate environmental benefits of the product or business and capitalise on this newly found
awareness has become virtually irresistible. As a result, there is a growing market for sustainable and
socially responsible products and services.

This paper attempts 1) to introduce the terms and concepts of green marketing; 2) briefly discuss
why going green is important; 3) examine some of the reason that organizations are adopting a
green marketing philosophy; and 4) mention some of the problems with green marketing.
