NIM Marketing Intelligence Review

Conscious Consumption

This issue brings articles on various aspects of the pursuit of sustainable consumption. We inquire into the barriers for sustainable consumption, and the reasons why consumers might resist being made responsible for it. The issue shows that small changes, such as adding information to product labels, or developing a consumer-focused app can produce positive results.
