Green Marketing is the holistic management for identifying, anticipating and satisfying the requirements of customers and society profitably and sustainably (Peattie, 1995).

Green marketing is a strategic approach that focuses on promoting products and services based on their environmental benefits. Green marketing refers to the practice of developing and advertising environmentally sustainable products.

It is a marketing approach for products or services that are considered environment friendly or safe. This term encompasses a wide range of activities from pre-production to end consumers. These activities include product modification, improved or modified production processes, designing, improved packaging, modified advertising, and disposal of products. It also provides awareness about environmental issues like global warming non-biodegradeable solid waste, detrimental impact of pollutants.

As consumer awareness of environmental issues grows, businesses increasingly adopt green marketing practices to appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
