This study contributes to the development of marketing science by emphasizing that effective sustainable strategies must be able to go beyond the cognitive aspect and touch the affective dimension of consumers to create lasting purchasing behavior. The research gap of this study lies in the focus on strengthening the affective dimension through emotional attachment as the main mediator, which is different from previous studies that emphasize more on cognitive perception of brand image or less consider the role of emotional loyalty specifically in the context of established brands, in addition to the inconsistency of previous research findings regarding the dominance of cognitive versus affective factors in mediating sustainable marketing relationships and sustainable consumer purchases. Keywords: Brand Image, Brand Loyalty, Sustainable Marketing, Sustainable Purchasing
