Although the effectiveness of in the business sector has been studied, the lit-erature has ignored the role of consumers in sustainable consumption practices through. Thus, using a survey technique, this quantitative study analyzed part of the theoretical model of Mostaghel and Chirumalla to analyze how awareness and con-sumer attitude significantly impact purchase intention and ethical purchasing behav-ior. The data analyzed through PLS-SEM reflected several theoretical implications in the forms of consumer behavior, a topic that has not been addressed in the literature.
