| Tiivistelmä: | The negative environmental impact of current consumption patterns is increasing and becoming more evident. Household/consumer behavior plays a significant role in shaping these patterns. A growing number of non- governmental organizations (NGOs) are focusing on this issue. The paper examines how NGOs could play an important role as partners to business/industry in promoting sustainable consumption. It exhibits a number of mini case studies on innovative partnerships for product development, labeling, green purchasing, etc. Two essential factors for success have been identified: (1) Consumers need to feel empowered to make a difference through their behavior. (2) They should also be able to improve their quality of life. |
