GREEN MARKETING STRATEGY AS AN IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSUMER TRUST IN REALIZING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGS)
Abstract
This study discusses the influence of green marketing strategies and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on green purchasing behavior with trust as an intervening variable. The background of this study is based on global challenges related to climate change and the need for more sustainable consumption, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. Although environmental awareness is increasing, green purchasing behavior is still low, so an effective marketing strategy is needed. The aim is to test the influence of green marketing strategies and SDGs on trust and green purchasing behavior, and to analyze the role of trust in mediating the relationship. This study focuses on consumers in East Semarang, using a quantitative approach with a survey method and data analysis using SmartPLS 3.0. The results of the study are expected to provide insight for companies in developing sustainable marketing strategies and increasing consumer trust in environmentally friendly products.

Green marketing is gaining momentum in today's business landscape, driven by consumer demand for sustainable practices. This chapter delves into the role of green marketing within the pharmaceutical industry, where the environmental impact is closely tied to public health. Green marketing involves promoting environmentally responsible processes and products, from sourcing raw materials to energy-efficient manufacturing. In pharmaceuticals, companies are increasingly adopting sustainable strategies such as biodegradable packaging, eco-friendly manufacturing, and emission reduction practices. The adoption of green marketing strategies in the pharmaceutical sector has the dual benefit of improving environmental sustainability and enhancing a company's reputation. By demonstrating a commitment to minimizing their ecological footprint, pharmaceutical companies can attract eco-conscious consumers. This not only helps in building consumer trust and loyalty but also strengthens market share in an increasingly competitive industry. Moreover, the push toward sustainability encourages pharmaceutical companies to take an active role in environmental stewardship, contributing to broader ecological benefits. In a sector where waste generation and chemical pollution are significant concerns, the implementation of green marketing strategies provides a pathway to mitigate these challenges. Ultimately, prioritizing sustainability fosters a positive relationship with consumers and stakeholders while promoting long-term environmental health.
