Consumer awareness of environmental issues is increasing, which impacts marketing efforts to encourage consumer buying interest. This study aims to determine the role of the image of green brands in intervening with the influence of green marketing and corporate social responsibility in increasing the purchase intention of green brands of personal care products in Indonesia. This study surveyed 200 adolescent and adult women using Google Forms. The sampling technique employed was regional sampling. The data analysis employed a structural equation model utilizing SMART-partial least square.
The study’s findings suggest that green marketing (β = 0.665, p = 0.000) and corporate social responsibility (β = 0.205, p = 0.000) are essential for establishing an image of a green brand. Additional findings indicate that green marketing (β = 0.399, p = 0.000) substantially enhances customer purchase intention, whereas corporate social responsibility (β = 0.177, p = 0.071) does not.
This study further reinforces the image of green brands as an intervening variable in the relationship between green marketing and customer purchase intention (β = 0.189, p = 0.001), while it does not serve as a mediator for corporate social responsibility (β = 0.058, p = 0.052). This research elucidates the significance of marketing managers in the effective creation of green marketing programs to enhance the image of green brands and consumer purchasing intentions.
