Green Criminology, Sustainable Development, Green Marketing, Corporate Social ResponsibilityAbstract
Marketing and Green Criminology are intertwined in an approach that promotes corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development. Green Marketing advocates the sustainability of brands through their products and services, while Green Criminology studies environmental crimes. Economic and social sciences can work together to promote ethical and environmentally sustainable business practices. This study aims to explore the connection between Marketing and Green Criminology with a focus on CSR and sustainable corporate practices that favour the environment and society. Through documentary analysis, a theoretical construct was developed to address the objective. In this context, it highlights the urgency of adopting new business models focused on sustainability, capable of generating bonds of trust with consumers, collaborators and strategic partners, under environmental regulations and legislation. Such practices not only strengthen corporate reputation, but also favour a more sustainable return on investment (ROI) and encourage the incorporation of a greater number of companies in responsible initiatives, aligned with the environmental challenges of the 21st century.
