Principles
of Green Marketing
1.
Fully Disclose Product Contents: Green
marketers should voluntarily disclose product contents to consumers in their
advertisement. Marketing company should also provide all necessary information
to government agencies and private organisations seeking to verify those
claims.
2.
Support Sustainable Energy Resources: The
generation of power from wind, geothermal, biomass (including landfill gas)
and/ or solar resources can improve environmental profile of the company. The
generation of power from these renewable resources do not cause irreparable damage
to ecosystems.
3.
Make a Difference: Green Marketing can
make a difference by building total consumer demand for renewable and ultimate
increasing the supply of renewable in the marketplace. Consumers should not be
asked to pay extra for environmental practice that are already required by law.
4.
Regard “Existing” as well as “New” Renewable Resources: Marketers should not imply that new is better simply
because it is new, or that existing renewable are not supported simply because
of the fact that they were built earlier.
5.
Not to Charge Excessive Prices: Marketing
company should not charge excess price for the cost of renewable energy. The
cost of renewable energy has fallen dramatically in the last decade, and if
excessive prices are charged for renewable energy it will give the public the
impression that renewable cost more.
6. Avoid
Premiums in Advance: Consumers should not
be asked to pay premiums in advance. Green purchase that are donation-oriented
are likely to be less successful.
7.
Support Emission Disclosure: Disclosure
of emissions on a consistent basis is required for all manufacturer.
