Series: Routledge Companions in Marketing, Advertising and Communication

This state-of-the-art handbook provides a comprehensive review of recent research and academic thought on the relationship between marketing and sustainability. It combines a ‘micro-marketing’ approach considering how to market more sustainable goods and services, with a more critical perspective considering the implications of our marketing systems for the future of the planet and humankind. It also balances a traditional socio-economic perspective on marketing with a physical systems perspective considering how the consequences of our consumption and production systems play out over time and space.

Bringing together a range of leading international experts from more than a dozen countries, this unique collection addresses both the environmental side of the sustainability agenda, through topics such as product development, packaging and circular economy initiatives, and its social side through topics such as fair trade marketing, bottom-of-the-pyramid initiatives and marketing ethics. A range of key market contexts are discussed including food, mobility, tourism, luxury consumption and sports along with important developments in the field around social marketing, sustainable lifestyles, new information technologies and the need for better marketing of sustainability.

Exploring how marketing can meet the challenge of the transition towards a more sustainable economy and a fairer society, this unique volume will be welcomed by researchers, students and practitioners from a variety of fields including marketing, business ethics, sociology and environmental studies.

Reviews for The Routledge Companion to Marketing and Sustainability

""Sustainability & Marketing covers marketing from within and outside the capitalist system, providing both guidance to those engaged in theory and practice and critiques of the conventional approaches. The book is led by Ken Peattie who has a track record over 25 years over researching the topic and therefore has the perspective that other volumes miss. Whilst the book is positioned primarily as an academic text, it draws on sectoral case studies and considers emerging future topics grounding it in real life. The companion should sit on the bookshelf of any serious researcher in business sustainability."" - Professor Martin Charter, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Design, University for the Creative Arts. ""The 1994 Oslo Symposium on Sustainable Consumption amplified the UN goal of producing and consuming in a way that does not jeopardise meeting the needs of future generations. It is not enough to market products and services that are just a little more sustainable or just a bit less harmful to the environment. This book entertains some of the BIG IDEAS that marketing needs to adopt to really address this challenge."" - Professor Russell Belk, Kraft Foods Canada Chair in Marketing, Schulich School of Business, York University. ""The Routledge Companion to Marketing and Sustainability is a fabulous addition to the series, edited by leading scholars this is the perfect place for students or scholars in marketing to reflect on the key components and challenges of Sustainability Marketing now and into our futures. A great read!"" - Professor Pierre McDonagh, Professor of Critical Marketing and Society, University of Bath, England, UK ""This excellent companion has been edited by leading academics in sustainability marketing. It benefits from global contributors who tackle fundamental topics in an informative and accessible manner. It is a must-read for anyone researching or studying marketing and sustainability."" - Andrea Prothero, Professor of Business and Society, University College Dublin, Ireland
