Key findings: it was clear that they need to carry out an analysis of their value chains before applying sustainability elements to their marketing mix to educate their consumers. It is important that they first understand whether they are in fact acting sustainably, and then create actions in this direction.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: the managerial model has shown that companies with a sustainable positioning can follow it to approach marketing strategies that educate their consumers in relation to sustainable consumption.
