Background of the study:
Sustainability marketing practices are increasingly essential in the fashion industry as consumers become more environmentally conscious. Eco-friendly labels in Kaduna are pioneering sustainable practices by promoting ethically produced and environmentally friendly products. This study examines how sustainability marketing strategies—such as transparent supply chains, eco-friendly materials, and green branding—affect consumer perceptions and buying behavior (Ogunleye, 2023). The research highlights the importance of authenticity and transparency in conveying a commitment to sustainability, which can differentiate brands in a competitive market. It also explores the challenges faced by eco-friendly fashion brands, including higher production costs and consumer skepticism regarding green claims (Adeniyi, 2024). By analyzing consumer responses and market performance data, this investigation provides insights into the effectiveness of sustainability marketing practices in building brand credibility and fostering consumer loyalty. The study underscores the need for robust communication strategies that clearly articulate the brand's sustainability initiatives and their impact on both the environment and society (Ogunleye, 2023).
Statement of the problem:
Eco-friendly fashion labels in Kaduna struggle with effectively communicating their sustainability practices to a broader audience. Despite growing consumer interest in environmentally friendly products, many brands face challenges in overcoming skepticism and justifying higher price points associated with sustainable production (Adeniyi, 2024). This study seeks to address the gap by evaluating the impact of sustainability marketing on consumer perceptions and identifying barriers to successful implementation, thereby providing actionable insights for enhancing market competitiveness (Ogunleye, 2023).

To recommend strategies for improving sustainability marketing practices.

This study is significant as it provides eco-friendly fashion brands with insights into effective sustainability marketing practices that can enhance consumer trust and market share. The findings will support the development of strategies that communicate sustainability authentically and compellingly (Ogunleye, 2023; Adeniyi, 2024).
