The holistic marketing concept advocates the philosophy that businesses must develop products and marketing strategies that not only address the needs of the consumers but also safeguard the long-term interests of those consumers as well as those of society at large. A commonly accepted view of green marketing is that of the advertising or promotion of a product as being more environmentally friendly.
So, Why should business embrace the green concept in branding?

Green makes a business sense

idea posted by Sasi Dash Art Director/Sr Art Director, U TV

If consumers will prefer brands that they identify as being more environmentally safe to brands which they see as being less so, then it seems only reasonable for firms to position their products in the former category. Greening is thus viewed as a source of competitive advantage.The high cost of disposal of waste may cause businesses to re-examine their inputs and production processes. This may lead to use of more environmentally friendly raw material or the introduction of more efficient or green technology, resulting in cost-savings for the company. They may also look for buyers for their waste or by-products. The search for cost-savings may lead companies to develop ways of recycling their waste or by-products either for their own use or to be sold to other industries.

Green Branding Delivers to the Brand - a sense of Social Responsibility, Modernity, Sustainability & EFFICIENCY

Given two products, one which is not branded green, and other which is branded green... the second being slightly more expensive...which would you go for? the second right? 

whats the thought that passes your mind? a few extra bucks, it doesnt matter..after all its for the environment, besides these guys must be having a better technology that is more efficient and sustainable... 

So i guess green branding is necessary..

Social Responsibilty

idea posted by James Masih Product/Brand Manager, FedEx

In my view, firms may view greening as part of their moral obligation toward the local community and the larger society in which they exist. Thus, just as it is the obligation of organizations to ensure that they do not unfairly exploit human resources, similarly it is their obligation to ensure that they do not unfairly exploit the physical environmental resources. Thus, environmental responsibility is a part of their commitment to society.

Helps recruit & retain employees

idea posted by Meena Deshmukh Product/Brand Manager, Videocon Inds

In my opinion, Creating a green work environment in an organisation boosts employee morale. People feel good about being green. Happy employees are good for business. Plus, an eco-friendly work environment provides for healthier, more productive employees.

I believe that when a bill is rejected so many times there has to be loopholes in the bill too and we can clearly see them. The main problem is that we are too emotional that we are not able to find the realistic approach to the matter.
