  • Ethical Consumerism November 2015
    UK Data Archive Study Number 7787 - Twenty-First Century Evangelicals Ethical Consumerism November 2015 Welcome Thank you for taking part in the 21st Century Evangelicals online research. These surveys are designed by the Evangelical Alliance. The findings will appear in IDEA magazine and on our website. This quarter's survey is about the decisions we all make as consumers. For example, spotting a good bargain, choosing fairtrade products, avoiding environmentally damaging practices and investing money in businesses without asking too many questions about how it might be used. All answers are anonymous. If you'd really rather not answer a particular question you can always leave it blank. People vary, but we estimate the survey shouldn’t take longer than about 20 minutes, unless you choose to write a lot in open­ended comment boxes. Page 1 Ethical Consumerism November 2015 About you In every survey we need to ask everyone a few short background questions so that we can easily break down the responses from different groups of people.

  • Segmenting Consumers' Reasons for and Against Ethical Consumption
    Segmenting Consumers’ Reasons For and Against Ethical Consumption Citation: Burke, P.F., Eckert, C., & Davis, S. (2014). Segmenting consumers’ reasons for and against ethical consumption. European Journal of Marketing, 48(11/12), 2237-2261. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/EJM-06-2013-0294 Author Affiliations: University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia Corresponding author: Dr Paul F. Burke via email [email protected] 1 Segmenting Consumers’ Reasons For and Against Ethical Consumption Purpose: This paper quantifies the relative importance of reasons used to explain consumers’ selection and rejection of ethical products, accounting for differences in ethical orientations across consumers. Approach: Reviewing previous literature and drawing on in-depth interviews, a taxonomy of reasons for and against ethical purchasing is developed. An online survey incorporating best-worst scaling determines which reasons feature more in shaping ethical consumerism. Cluster analysis and multinomial regression are used to identify and profile segments. Findings: Positively orientated consumers (42% of respondents) purchase ethical products more so because of reasons relating to impact, health, personal relevance, and quality. Negatively orientated consumers (34% of respondents) reject ethical alternatives based on reasons relating to indifference, expense, confusion, and scepticism. A third segment is ambivalent in their behaviour and reasoning; they perceive ethical purchasing to be effective and relevant, but are confused and sceptical under what conditions this can occur. Limitations: Preferences were elicited using an online survey rather than using real market data. Though the task instructions and methods used attempted to minimise social-desirability bias, the experiment might still be subject to its effects. Implications: Competitive positioning strategies can be better designed knowing which barriers to ethical purchasing are more relevant.

  • Ethical Consumption As a Reflection of Self-Identity
    Ethical consumption as a reflection of self-identity Hanna Rahikainen Department of Marketing Hanken School of Economics Helsinki 2015 HANKEN SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS Department of Marketing Type of work: Master’s Thesis Author: Hanna Rahikainen Date: 31.7.2015 Title of thesis: Ethical consumption as a reflection of self-identity Abstract: In recent years, people’s increasing awareness of ethical consumption has become increasingly important for the business environment. Although previous research has shown that consumers are influenced by their ethical concerns, ethical consumption from a consumer perspective lacks understanding. As self-identity is an important concept in explaining how consumers relate to different consumption objects, relating it to ethical consumption is a valuable addition to the existing body of research. As the phenomenon of ethical consumption has been widely studied, but the literature is fragmented covering a wide range of topics such as sustainability and environmental concerns, the theoretical framework of the paper portrays the multifaceted and complex nature of the concepts of ethical consumption and self-identity and the complexities existing in the relationship of consumption and self-identity in general. The present study took a qualitative approach to find out how consumers define what ethical consumption is to them in their own consumption and how self-identity was related to ethical consumption. The informants consisted of eight females between the ages of 25 – 29 living in the capital area of Finland. The results of the study showed an even greater complexity connecting to ethical consumption when researched from a consumer perspective, but indicated clearly the presence of a plurality of identities connected to ethical consumption, portraying it as one of the behavioural modes selected or rejected by an active self.

It is the poor choices of individual consumers that contribute to climate change. I argue that it is immoral to cause harm to others, thus climate change is an ethical dilemma for individual consumers. I begin with a pluralistic discussion of harm, before discussing the duties of individuals to make choices that will mitigate the current harms of climate change and the wrong moral assumptions that individuals make regarding their contribution to climate change. I discuss the principles of ethical consumerism, specifically in housing, food, and transportation. Lastly, I argue that climate change is an enforceable duty on the premise that those who cause or threaten harm are liable for their actions and that individuals are equally as liable for the collective well-being.

  • Annual Report 2019
    2019 ANNUAL REPORT Outgoing President’s Address Since its founding in 1999, Centre for a Responsible Future (CRF) – originally Vegetarian Society (Singapore) – has been an important part of the Singapore story. I joined in 2002. Over time, I have performed various roles in the organization, and I look forward to continuing my work with CRF in the future. I derive a great deal of satisfaction from being a small part of the big things CRF does. I’m very happy that Desmond Koh has agreed to become CRF President. When we asked him to come on board, it was a case of “Nothing ventured, nothing gained”; so, it was a very pleasant surprise when Desmond said “Yes”. Desmond’s task is a difficult one, because we have grown significantly since our early days, as has the entire plant-based space. Thus, I call on everyone to do what you can to support Desmond and the other devoted members of the CRF leadership team. Your support can take many forms: time, talent, funds and good will. Our efforts at CRF have never been more crucial. Thanks for all you do, and see you at future CRF events. George Jacobs, PhD (Outgoing) President, Centre for a Responsible Future Incoming President’s Address First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to our beloved outgoing President George for his incredible leadership over the past 18 years. When I first decided to take on this responsibility, I knew that I would never truly be able to fill the shoes he left behind.

  • The Global Challenge of Sustainable Development – Local
    Summary of Learning from “The Global Challenge of Sustainable Development – Local Implementations at European Academy of Otzehousen, Germany, May 12-19, 2017” and Plan for the Future Use of the Knowledge Obtained By M. A. Karim Department of Civil and Construction Engineering, KSU It was a great experience for me to participate in the above subject workshop with KSU colleagues. As an Environmental engineer and as an Environmental Engineer faculty it was a great deal for me. ‘Sustainability’ is a buzzword that is used almost in every discipline. Moving towards sustainability is a social challenge that entails international and national law, urban planning and transport, local and individual lifestyles and ethical consumerism. Ways of living more sustainably can take many forms from reorganizing living conditions for example, ecovillages, eco- municipalities and sustainable cities, reappraising economic sectors (permaculture, green building, sustainable agriculture), or work practices (sustainable architecture), using science to develop new technologies (green technologies, renewable energy and sustainable fission and fusion power), or designing systems in a flexible and reversible manner, and adjusting individual lifestyles that conserve natural resources. I always viewed the term 'sustainability' as humanity's target goal of human-ecosystem equilibrium (homeostasis), while 'sustainable development' refers to the holistic approach and temporal processes that lead us to the end point of sustainability. Despite the increased popularity of the use of the term "sustainability", the possibility that human societies seem to achieve environmental sustainability has been, and continues to be, questioned—in light of environmental degradation, climate change, overconsumption, population growth and societies' pursuit of indefinite economic growth in a closed system.

  • Negotiating Ethical Consumerism in Everyday Life
    NEGOTIATING ETHICAL CONSUMERISM IN EVERYDAY LIFE by Tracey Bedford RESOLVE Working Paper 13-11 1 The Research Group on Lifestyles, Values and Environment (RESOLVE) is a novel and exciting collaboration located entirely within the University of Surrey, involving four internationally acclaimed departments: the Centre for Environmental Strategy, the Surrey Energy Economics Centre, the Environmental Psychology Research Group and the Department of Sociology. Sponsored by the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) as part of the Research Councils’ Energy Programme, RESOLVE aims to unravel the complex links between lifestyles, values and the environment. In particular, the group will provide robust, evidence-based advice to policy-makers in the UK and elsewhere who are seeking to understand and to influence the behaviours and practices of ‘energy consumers’. The working papers in this series reflect the outputs, findings and recommendations emerging from a truly inter-disciplinary research programme arranged around six thematic research strands: Carbon Footprinting: developing the tools to find out which bits of people’s lifestyles and practices generate how much energy consumption (and carbon emissions). Psychology of Energy Behaviours: concentrating on the social psychological influences on energy-related behaviours, including the role of identity, and testing interventions aimed at change. Sociology of Lifestyles: focusing on the sociological aspects of lifestyles and the possibilities of lifestyle change, exploring the role of values and the creation and maintenance of meaning. Household change over time: working with individual households to understand how they respond to the demands of climate change and negotiate new, low-carbon lifestyles and practices. Lifestyle Scenarios: exploring the potential for reducing the energy consumption (and carbon emissions) associated with a variety of lifestyle scenarios over the next two to three decades.
