Marketing and Sustainability

Contradiction or the Path to Profitable Businesses and Sustainable Societies

In-depth, authoritative overview of sustainability issues and how sustainability is integrated into management and marketing theory and practices

Marketing and Sustainability equips readers in the fields of management and marketing with an in-depth understanding of sustainability issues and how sustainability is integrated into business. Examples from across the globe are included on topics such as how businesses use services, sharing practices, and sustainable business models in their operations to face increasing demands to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, limited resources, and increased global competition.

This book is concerned with consumer and business markets, considering marketing practices as part of business administration. Up-to-date and topical areas of research such as the sharing economy, are thoroughly discussed and illustrated with supporting models, figures, and vignettes.

The book is accompanied by a companion site for instructors and faculty, which includes PowerPoint slides and exam Q&A’s. Videos introducing each chapter’s content are also available via YouTube.

Written by a team of highly qualified academics, Marketing and Sustainability includes information on:

• Factors influencing consumers and their choices, sustainable marketing practices and their effectiveness, and how to communicate sustainability initiatives through marketing campaigns
• Strategies to be heard in a crowded, branded world, and sustainability business models including product-service systems, social enterprises, and sharing and circular economy models
• Sustainable marketing strategies including chapters on sustainable marketing channels, sustainable pricing, sustainability oriented marketing communication and branding
• Greenwashing, the process of conveying a false impression or misleading information about how a company’s products are environmentally sound, and why it’s bound to backfire

Marketing and Sustainability is an essential reference for undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students as well as managers in companies, the public sector, and civil society—all of whom are under increasing pressure to deal with marketing and sustainability for strategic purposes as well as in everyday practices.
