The potential role of carbon labeling in a green economy (2012, background): “An experiment in a grocery store in Australia labeled six product categories as having either a “below average”, “near average”, or “above average” carbon footprint relative to competing brands (Vanclay et al., 2011).”
Nudging sustainable consumption: The use of descriptive norms to promote a minority behavior in a realistic online shopping environment (2015, background): “In particular, social norm information may increase the effectiveness of ecolabels which have been found to often (but not always) increase sales of products such as grocery products, detergents, dolphin-safe tuna and seafood, toilet paper, recycled toilet paper, paper towels, household cleaning pro”
Green consumerism: the influence of product attributes and values on purchasing intentions (2015, result): “This is in line with an eco-labelling intervention that showed that carbon footprint labels had the highest sales for the lowest priced products and in a much weaker response for more expensive products (Vanclay et al., 2011).”
Effects of carbon emission reduction policies on transportation mode selections with stochastic demand (2016, neutral): “…policies including mandatory carbon emission capacity, cap, carbon emission tax, and cap-and-trade etc. Consumers have been more aware of environmental issues and therefore, are more sensitive towards low carbon products (Upham et al. 2011; Vanclay et al. 2011; cohen and Vandenbergh 2012).”
A better carbon footprint label (2016, background): “Based on such measurement, a carbon footprint label communicates the amount of carbon dioxide equivalents emitted during the manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal of a product (Hornibrook et al., 2015; Vanclay et al., 2011).”
