Several companies have adopted sustainability
as a business approach to protect the social,
ecological, and economic environments. This
study aims to determine the influence of eco
label and price sensitivity on green purchasing
behavior of Filipino Gen X and Z consumers and
to identify their perception towards them. An
online questionnaire was distributed to 385
respondents, and the data gathered for this
quantitative study were analyzed through
descriptive statistics, t-test, and multiple linear
regression. Results show that only price
sensitivity significantly affects the purchasing
behavior of Gen X. While both eco-label and
price sensitivity significantly affects Gen Z’s
purchasing behavior. Moreover, the presence of
an eco-label influences their buying behavior
since they are more knowledgeable of its
relevance in products.
