Abstract
"Green" messages have swept the marketing world over the past two years and Mintel provides the context necessary to understand the green marketplace. Interest in environmental issues, especially climate change, has surged in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, soaring oil prices, and Al Gore' s Oscar-winning film and Nobel Prize. Marketers have caught on to the benefits that green messaging can bring to their brands.
Companies are embarking on green marketing campaigns, but which ones really work? When do green claims help a brand, and when do they turn consumers off and what are consumers really looking for in a green product or company?
