<![CDATA[Green marketing has become an important field in contemporary marketing because firms are increasingly expected to integrate business objectives, consumer needs, and environmental responsibility. This article reviews green marketing literature by examining conceptual foundations, strategic dimensions, green marketing mix, consumer behavior, green trust, purchase intention, and greenwashing. A structured narrative literature review was conducted by synthesizing conceptual papers, systematic reviews, bibliometric studies, empirical research, and policy-oriented documents. The review shows that green marketing has evolved from a narrow promotional activity into an integrated business strategy involving product design, pricing, distribution, communication, process improvement, and evidence-based environmental accountability. The findings indicate that perceived green value and green trust are central mechanisms by which green marketing influences green purchase intention and behavior.
