Abstract

Objective: to analyze consumer behavior in the process of purchasing products that employ green marketing strategies, identifying the effectiveness of ecological actions according to their perception.

Method: The methodology used was quantitative, descriptive research with a convenience sample.

Main results: the distance between what young people think and their true actions in relation to environmental issues is identified.

Relevance/originality: The originality of the research lies in the behavior of the consumer researched, because despite recognizing the importance of green marketing in companies, in some cases the consumer does not understand, in practice, the importance of their individual actions for preserving the environment , and how much their consumption habits can influence companies to adhere to sustainable development.

Theoretical/methodological contributions: use of the ecologically conscious consumer behavior scale – Ecologically Conscious Consumer Behavior by Straughan and Roberts (1999).

Social/management contributions: The managerial and social contributions of the research allow managers and related professionals to become aware of the importance of disseminating their actions for sustainable development to create value among the consumer public. Public authorities can employ actions to raise awareness among young people, who have the opportunity to positively impact their social life and their future professional environment, adopting conscious consumption habits.
