The following summaries
the importance of advertising on sustainable consumption.
"Sustainable consumption
is a ground-breaking concept. It goes beyond "green" consumption and addresses
social and equity issues as well. Advertising links business, policy makers,
and consumers and can stimulate product and service development. As corporate
reputation and brand image become increasingly important, advertising agencies
will play an influential role in advising their clients how to integrate
sustainability. They can bring in depth knowledge and understanding of
consumer behaviour and communication skills to help promote the sustainable
development message." Advertising and Sustainable Consumption Expert Meeting,
1999, UNEP.
