Determinants of Green Consumer Behaviour among Indian Consumers: An ISM Approach

The dynamic changes in the environment and the global market scenario, has also changed the way consumers approach a product. In the recent past, it has been observed that consumers are getting more inclined towards green purchases. This has resulted in the emergence of a new field of research called ‘green consumerism’ or green consumer behaviour. Many researchers have highlighted the reasons, patterns, barriers and enablers of green consumer behaviour. With the help of previous literature and expert opinions, 11 key determinants of green consumer behaviour have been identified operating in the Indian market. Interpretive structural modelling (ISM) has been used to develop a framework to show the interrelationship among the identified determinants and how it affects the customer’s green purchase behaviour.
