A new sense of urgency about Indian environmental degradation has completed a number of ordinary individuals to make eco-conscious life style changes(Jain & kaur,2004)'.The environment has become a mainstream issue and consequently consumers are becoming more concerned about their habits and the effect that these have on the environment(Krause, 1993).Environment friendly, eco-friendly, nature-friendly and green are marketing terms referring to goods and services, laws ,guidelines and policies that inflict reduced, minimal or no harm upon ecosystems or the environment. Considering the importance of the environment, Consumers around the globe started showing concern for environmental protection and started avoiding the products that are harmful for the environment. Awareness of the destruction of natural resources has raised the issue of Environmental protection, which in turn has created eco-friendly consumption called green consumerism(Moisander,2007)'. Marketers responded to the growing environmental consciousness of consumers by adapting green practices and developing environment- friendly products. Today, Governments, Organizations, as well as the general public are concerned about the environment and are taking initiatives at their own level. Various governments have implemented environmental laws for Environment Protection and are also providing subsidies on green/ environment-friendly products.

The need for sustainable business practices by corporations around the world is identified to be a result of overall increase in the consumer awareness of lack of environmental protection and social inequities.
