This study explores how social media–driven green marketing shapes sustainable consumer behavior through a systematic literature review. As concerns about sustainability intensify alongside rapid digital engagement, social media has emerged as a crucial platform for communicating environmental initiatives and influencing consumer responses. Despite this relevance, existing studies remain fragmented across theoretical, contextual, and methodological perspectives, limiting a holistic understanding of the topic. Using the PRISMA approach, this research reviews 42 empirical articles sourced from the Scopus database and analyzes them through the TCCM (Theory–Context–Characteristics–Method) framework. The findings show that most studies rely on intention-based theories, particularly the Theory of Planned Behavior, although there is a growing shift toward integrating social, psychological, and technology-oriented approaches. From a contextual standpoint, the literature is largely concentrated in Asian regions and younger demographics, which restricts broader generalization. Furthermore, results indicate that social media–driven green marketing does not directly affect sustainable behavior but works through important psychological mediators such as trust, engagement, and perceived value. These factors significantly influence how consumers interpret and respond to environmental messages online. The effectiveness of such marketing strategies is also shaped by cultural and demographic differences, making context a critical factor. Methodologically, most studies employ cross-sectional surveys and structural equation modeling, limiting the ability to capture causal and dynamic relationships. Overall, this study provides a structured synthesis, highlights research gaps, and suggests future directions, including cross-cultural analysis, stronger theoretical integration, and more rigorous research designs.

The transition toward sustainable energy systems requires the transformation of renewable energy marketing strategies, particularly for waste-based energy. This study aims to analyze the effects of green marketing, stakeholder collaboration, and technological innovation on the marketing effectiveness of waste-based energy, with customer satisfaction as an intervening variable. A quantitative approach with a survey design was used. Data were collected from 300 respondents, comprising consumers and stakeholders at PT PLN (Persero) ’s waste-based energy processing units. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. The results indicate that green marketing, stakeholder collaboration, and technological innovation significantly influence customer satisfaction and the effectiveness of marketing. Furthermore, customer satisfaction significantly mediates the relationship between independent variables and marketing effectiveness. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating sustainable marketing strategies, multi-stakeholder synergy, and innovative technologies to enhance the competitiveness of waste-based energy products in the market. This study contributes to the theoretical development of renewable energy marketing models and provides practical implications for policymaking and green energy marketing strategies in Indonesia.

In response to the escalating challenge of packaging waste in the beauty industry, The Body Shop Indonesia has implemented a Green Marketing Mix through its Bring Back Our Bottles (BBOB) and Refill Station programs. This study aims to analyze the strategic implementation of this approach, assess consumer perceptions and engagement, and explore the inherent challenges and opportunities for future development. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research collected data from five respondents who are The Body Shop consumers with prior participation in either the BBOB or Refill Station programs. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, observation, and a comprehensive literature review. Thematic analysis was subsequently performed, with findings validated through source and method triangulation. The results indicate that The Body Shop’s Green Marketing Mix has been effectively implemented, particularly in the elements of product (environmentally friendly packaging), promotion (campaigns via digital and print media), and physical evidence (store design that promotes a natural ambiance). Despite positive consumer responses and a strengthened brand image, persistent obstacles were identified, including limited access to program locations and insufficient information dissemination. The programs were found to be effective in enhancing customer loyalty and hold significant potential for expansion, particularly through targeted education and collaborative initiatives with youth communities. This study recommends expanding the programs’ geographical coverage, strengthening digital communication, and establishing strategic community partnerships. The findings are expected to make a meaningful contribution to the development of sustainable green marketing strategies within the beauty industry.

Café retrorika is one of the cafes located in Batu City, Malang, which adopts a green marketing concept with a unique aesthetic touch, combining the concepts of “Retro” and “Eco-friendly”, where almost all of the café’s furniture and decorations are made from recycled materials, such as old windows, used motorcycle tanks, gas cylinders and rims, which are transformed into high-art decorative elements. Awareness of the importance of sustainable business is growing, including in the culinary sector. Cafes and restaurants now compete not only in terms of taste and service but also in their commitment to environmentally friendly concepts. Moreover, today’s consumers are increasingly selective in choosing places to eat that support local products, use environmentally friendly materials, and strive to reduce plastic waste. This is one of the reasons for building cafes with different concepts, as done by the owner and founder of Retrorika café. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study research type. Data collection techniques include participant observation, interviews and documentation. The result show that Retrorika café was built based on the personal idealism of its owner as a green movement activist, rather than market calculations. The café’s “Retro” identity serves as physical evidence of sustainability practice through the use of used furniture while also creating a nostalgic experience. Its marketing strategy focuses on education through the Re-dukaci program, Retrorika goes to Halokes and Sa-Si-Su as an effort to prove the authenticity of green practices and mitigate greenwashing. These results can be concluded that the founder’s passion shapes the Green Corporate Identity and becomes a source of sustainable competitive advantage that is difficult to imitate.

Public awareness of environmental issues is increasing, but there is still a gap between ecological understanding and green consumption behavior. This phenomenon is evident in the low interest of local consumers in Suputra Herbal Incense products in Badung Regency, despite the product's strong ecological and cultural value. This condition raises questions about the factors influencing local consumers' green purchasing intentions towards environmentally friendly products. This study uses a quantitative approach with a causal associative design to analyze the main predictors influencing green purchasing intentions. A total of 100 respondents were selected through a purposive sampling technique, namely potential consumers who are related to herbal incense products. The research instrument has been tested for validity and reliability, thus it is suitable for use in data collection. Data analysis was conducted with the help of multiple linear regression using SPSS software to test the research hypotheses. The results show that green brand image, green marketing, and price perception have a positive and significant influence on local consumers' green purchasing intentions. These findings confirm that an environmentally friendly brand image can strengthen consumer trust and interest. In addition, a consistent and authentic green marketing strategy plays a significant role in increasing product appeal. The perception of fair pricing is also a key consideration, as consumers tend to be more accepting of prices when they align with the product's ecological benefits and cultural values. In conclusion, this research provides practical contributions for MSMEs, particularly in designing effective and sustainable green marketing strategies. Efforts to strengthen green brand image, consistently implement environmentally friendly promotions, and foster a perception of fair pricing will encourage increased purchasing intentions among local consumers. Thus, eco-friendly products like Suputra Herbal Incense have the potential to compete more strongly in the increasingly competitive domestic market.

This study aims to analyze the effect of green marketing on purchase decision with brand image as a mediating variable among consumers of Satvika Bhoga in Denpasar. The research is grounded in the increasing consumer awareness of environmental issues, which has not yet been fully reflected in consistent purchasing behavior toward environmentally friendly products. Despite a rise in environmental consciousness, many consumers remain skeptical or indifferent unless a brand manages to build a credible and positive image aligned with eco-friendly values. Employing a quantitative approach with an associative research design, data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to Satvika Bhoga consumers, selected using purposive sampling. The analysis was conducted using path analysis and the Sobel test to assess both direct and indirect relationships among variables. These methods allowed the researchers to examine not only the magnitude of influence but also the mediating role of brand image in shaping purchase decisions. The results indicate that green marketing has a positive and significant effect on purchase decision and significantly strengthens Satvika Bhoga’s brand image as an environmentally conscious brand. Furthermore, brand image was found to have a strong and statistically significant influence on purchase decision, confirming its role as a partial mediator. This implies that green marketing efforts, such as eco-friendly packaging, sustainable sourcing, and environmental messaging, not only influence consumer decisions directly but also enhance the overall brand perception, which in turn further motivates consumers to make purchases. Thus, businesses aiming to improve eco-product sales should prioritize consistent green marketing strategies that reinforce a trustworthy and environmentally responsible brand image.

In the digital age, consumer awareness of sustainable products has increased significantly. Recent research (2023-2025) shows that 84% of Indonesian consumers have used eco-friendly products, driven by a desire to preserve the earth. The purpose of this study is to analyze how digital information, particularly Electronic Word-of-Mouth (E-WOM), perceptions of sustainable packaging, and environmental concerns influence consumer perceptions and purchasing decisions in Indonesia. The proposed method is a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis, preceded by classical assumption testing and instrument reliability testing. Key findings from the supporting literature indicate that E-WOM has a strong influence on purchase interest, even mediating the relationship between green marketing and purchase intention. In addition, product information transparency (ecological labels) is significant in increasing trust. The conclusion confirms that effective digital strategies must prioritize positive E-WOM communication and sustainability data transparency.
