Conclusion
 Green marketing helps in the effective outcomes like cost cutting, employee
satisfaction, waste minimisation, society welfare for the companies as well for society
also.
 Green products and services not only help tackle pertinent environment issues but
make genuine business sense. Over the next five years, this is only going to intensify.
 With a comparably limited number of Green products and services currently on the
market, firms that act quickly to capitalise on this growing trend will reap significant
rewards.
 Only thing required is the determination and commitment from the all the
stakeholders of the companies. It is the right time to adopt the concept of sustainable
development in the marketing mix of the companies and integrate them to save the
planet from the upcoming risk.
