Abstract
ABSTRACT Green marketing has become increasingly important to promote environmental sustainability, and studies on the subject have been conducted, especially in developed countries. Therefore, this research evaluates the green marketing practices and issues of the selected firms in emerging countries. Information from in-depth interviews with three firms each from Indonesian and Philippines, which produce green products were explored and analyzed. The findings showed that the practices were slightly different due to variations in the level of knowledge, and the lack of consumers’ awareness and acceptance of the product was the main issue faced by firms.
