Background of the study (250 words):
Sustainability marketing practices have emerged as a critical differentiator in the competitive fashion industry, as consumers increasingly prioritize ethical and environmentally responsible products. Eco-friendly labels in Kaduna are at the forefront of this movement, integrating sustainable practices into every aspect of their business—from production to marketing. This study investigates how sustainability marketing, which includes transparent sourcing, eco-friendly materials, and ethical labor practices, influences consumer perceptions and purchasing decisions. By communicating a commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility, eco-friendly brands can build trust and loyalty among environmentally conscious consumers. The research examines the impact of sustainability initiatives on brand image and market positioning, considering both qualitative consumer feedback and quantitative sales data. Additionally, the study addresses challenges such as higher production costs, consumer skepticism regarding greenwashing, and the need for authentic communication strategies. Overall, this investigation aims to provide actionable insights into how sustainability marketing can be optimized to enhance brand credibility and drive competitive advantage in the fashion industry (Ogunleye, 2023; Adeniyi, 2024).
