The primary aim was to assess how firms\u2019 sustainability initiatives and brand-related practices shape consumer behaviour within the Nigerian manufacturing sector. Using a structured questionnaire administered to 294 consumers, data were analysed through descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. Findings indicate that sustainability marketing\u2014through environmental advertising, eco-labelling, green packaging, and corporate environmental responsibility messaging\u2014positively influences consumer purchase decisions. Green branding further strengthens this effect by enhancing brand credibility and aligning products with consumers\u2019 environmental values. Brand perception emerged as the most significant determinant, demonstrating that consumers consider both functional and ethical dimensions when making purchasing decisions. The results reveal a synergistic relationship, whereby sustainability marketing enhances green branding, which in turn improves brand perception, ultimately driving purchase behaviour. The study recommends that firms institutionalise sustainability marketing, embed green branding into corporate identity, and adopt policies that integrate quality, ethical conduct, and transparency to influence consumer attitudes, foster loyalty, and gain a competitive advantage. These strategies enable Nigerian manufacturing firms to meet consumer expectations and promote sustainable market growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Consumer Purchase Decisions, Sustainability Marketing, Consumer Purchase, Green Branding, Brand Perception<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download PDF Authors Dr Onyeke, Kenechi John, Department of Marketing,&nbsp; Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu.
