Thèmes abordés

This course addresses the issue of consumer social responsibility in achieving more sustainable consumption-production-patterns.
The issues covered will range from ethical critics of consumerism (e.g. the recent scandal of Amazon destroying massive amount of as-new returned items) to the diverse strategies set up to foster sustainable consumption:

• buying fair-trade
• buying green
• zero waste
• sharing
• recycling, re-using
• simplicity, sufficiency & de-growth
• local food networks
• slow movement
• consumer activism
• ...

Moreover, based on some non-ethical practices quite frequently observed in practice, we will discuss the growth of consumer activism as well as the design and implementation of a sustainable marketing approach.
