Background of the study
Green branding strategies involve aligning a brand’s identity with environmental sustainability and ethical practices, which can significantly enhance market competitiveness. This study reviews how an organic cosmetics brand in Abuja, Nigeria, leverages green branding to differentiate itself from competitors. By emphasizing natural ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, and ethical sourcing, the brand aims to build a strong identity that resonates with environmentally conscious consumers (Ibrahim, 2023). In an increasingly competitive cosmetics market, green branding can serve as a unique selling proposition that not only attracts consumers but also builds long-term loyalty. The study examines various branding elements including logo design, messaging, and certifications that communicate environmental responsibility. It also analyzes how these strategies influence consumer perceptions, market share, and overall competitive advantage. Furthermore, the research considers challenges such as higher production costs and potential consumer skepticism toward green claims. By synthesizing industry reports and case study evidence, this review aims to provide insights into best practices for green branding and offer recommendations for enhancing market competitiveness through sustainable practices (Adeniyi, 2024; Okeke, 2023).

Challenges such as inconsistent environmental messaging, higher production costs, and consumer skepticism regarding green claims can hinder brand differentiation.

This study addresses the need to evaluate current green branding strategies and their impact on competitiveness. By identifying the factors that lead to successful green branding, the research aims to offer actionable recommendations for enhancing brand positioning and achieving long-term success in a competitive market (Ibrahim, 2023; Adeniyi, 2024).
