Environmentally Sustainable Behavior: Theories, Empirical Evidence and Implications

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, researchers, marketers, and policymakers have constantly sought to explain and promote pro-environmental behaviour that is of paramount importance for environmental sustainability. A number of theories and models have been developed to explain and predict environmentally sustainable behaviour. Nevertheless, empirical studies, underpinned by these theories, show inconsistent and even conflicting results of the behaviour’s drivers and outcomes. Despite extensive environmental initiatives and efforts from governments, businesses and consumers seem reluctant to actively and frequently engage in environmentally sustainable behaviour.

Our Special Issue aims to make a contribution to the literature on business sustainability and consumer pro-environmental behaviour. We invite scholars, marketers, managers and policymakers to submit reviews and original research articles dealing with the antecedents and outcomes of environmentally sustainable behaviours, as well as their implications for environmental sustainability. In addition, papers that deliver a theoretically grounded, managerially relevant framework to guide environmental behaviour research and corporate sustainable practices are welcomed.
