Abstract

The growing concerns over environmental degradation, resource depletion, and social well-being have emphasized the need for sustainable consumption practices, particularly in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector due to its high consumption frequency and environmental impact. Green buying behaviour has emerged as a crucial mechanism through which consumers can contribute to sustainable development. In this context, the present study examines the determinants of green buying behaviour of FMCG products and analyzes its impact on environmental, economic, and social sustainability from a consumer perception perspective. The study is empirical in nature and is based on primary data collected from 236 consumers using a structured questionnaire designed on a five-point Likert scale. The questionnaire captured key determinants such as environmental awareness, personal responsibility, social influence, price sensitivity, availability, trust in green claims, and ease of identification of green products. Secondary data were collected from books, journals, reports, and relevant websites to support the conceptual framework of the study. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, correlation, and regression techniques. The findings reveal that determinants such as awareness, price, and availability significantly influence green buying behaviour of FMCG products. The results also indicate a strong and positive relationship between green buying behaviour and all three dimensions of sustainability. Among the sustainability dimensions, environmental sustainability is most strongly influenced by green buying behaviour, followed by social and economic sustainability. Although consumers exhibit positive attitudes and strong future purchase intentions, challenges related to price, product availability, and trust in environmental claims persist. The study concludes that promoting green buying behaviour in the FMCG sector can substantially contribute to sustainable development. The findings offer valuable insights for marketers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to design effective strategies that encourage sustainable consumption and balance environmental protection, economic viability, and social responsibility.
