The present study has been undertaken to understand the perception and attitude of the green consumer towards FMCG products. A structure questionnaire is developed on the basis of 21 environmental parameters and 308 respondents are surveyed. Principal component analysis and multiple regression analysis have been used to investigate the most substantial factors and their influencing level on green consumer's buying behaviour and Bayesian probabilistic network is applied to frame a model for the FMCG marketers to implement policy on the basis of different scenario and causal analysis.

Abstract


The present study has been undertaken to understand the perception and attitude of the green consumer towards FMCG products. A structure questionnaire is developed on the basis of 21 environmental parameters and 308 respondents are surveyed. Principal component analysis and multiple regression analysis have been used to investigate the most substantial factors and their influencing level on green consumer's buying behaviour and Bayesian probabilistic network is applied to frame a model for the FMCG marketers to implement policy on the basis of different scenario and causal analysis.
