Many people see a weak association between marketing and sustainable development and even consider them as two incompatible fields. However, marketing benefits from an extremely powerful position to encourage transformations at the production level and to guide consumers towards responsible behaviors. From its inception, marketing has been positioned as a support for the relationship between the company and its customers, with the quest for well-being set in the very foundations of the discipline. In a context that is marked by crises and much skepticism, marketing today should, more than ever, prove that it acts in good faith. This book offers practitioners, public authorities, professors and students illustrations that demonstrate that the dissemination of sustainable practices is indeed a marketing issue. It argues that it is particularly important not only to overcome the divide between the concepts of marketing and sustainability, but also to use marketing tools and frameworks to support sustainable development and strengthen the green market.

This book presents a set of tools that will aid in deciding whether a project should go ahead, be improved, or abandoned altogether by pinpointing its vulnerabilities. It offers a review of project feasibility analysis, and more critically, psychodynamic aspects that are often neglected, including how stakeholders interact. It provides a complement to the common techniques used for analyzing technical, financial, and marketing feasibility.

Nombreux sont ceux qui voient le marketing et le développement durable comme deux domaines complètement éloignés, voire opposés. Pourtant, le marketing occupe une position privilégiée pour encourager des transformations au niveau de la production et orienter les consommateurs vers des comportements responsables. Dès son origine, le marketing s’est placé comme support d’une relation entre l’entreprise et ses clients, la quête du bien-être appartenant aux fondements mêmes de la discipline. Dans un contexte marqué par des crises et par un scepticisme ambiant, le marketing devrait aujourd’hui, plus que jamais, prouver « sa bonne foi ». Cet ouvrage offre aux praticiens, pouvoirs publics, enseignants et étudiants des illustrations démontrant que disséminer les pratiques durables est bien une question de marketing. Il affirme l’intérêt tout particulier de dépasser le clivage entre les deux notions, mais également celui de s’appuyer sur les outils et cadres d’analyse du marketing pour soutenir un développement durable et renforcer le marché vert.
