Abstract Our research deals with environmental pollution, sustainability, and the impacts made by international cosmetic companies on the motivation of purchasing organic cosmetics. Unfortunately, our environment is becoming more and more polluted, which affects our planet Earth on a global scale. It is everybody’s responsibility to decrease the environmental load, diminish our ecological footprint and leave a much cleaner and safer environment to the future generation in line with the principles of sustainable development. We have examined global environmental problems, the efforts made by international cosmetic companies to protect the environment and their impact on the preference, selection and purchase of environmentally friendly cosmetics. Nowadays, efforts of significant importance are prioritised that are more and more shifted to health and environmental consciousness regarding both corporate and consumer behaviour.

The developed world for decades has been trying to achieve waste management that meets the requirements of sustainable production. It is very important to understand, analyse and predict the individual consumer behaviour, motivations, values and attitudes towards environmental consciousness. Consumers’ environmental awareness covers positive attitudes towards the environment supported by values and beliefs. The conclusion of the research is that in the area of environmental awareness Hungary is at the beginning of a long process and it cannot be predicted when will it reach the level of developed countries. A positive trend is that today’s young people, who represent the next generation, show more interest towards environmental awareness.

A turizmus alig néhány évtized alatt igazi tömegjelenséggé vált. Dinamikus fejlődése bár számos társadalmi-gazdasági előnnyel jár, a mai tömegturizmust vizsgálva nem tekinthetünk el a nyilvánvaló társadalmi és környezeti mellékhatásaitól: egyes desztinációkban már rontja az ott élők életminőségét, és veszélyezteti a természeti környezetet. Fenntartható fejlődésének érdekében változásra van szükség a kínálatban éppúgy, mint a fogyasztók keresletében. Tanulmányunk egy friss reprezentatív kutatás eredményeire is építve azt vizsgálja, vajon a hazai lakosság hajlandó-e utazásai során környezettudatos és felelősségteljes fogyasztói magatartás tanúsítására, ökoturistákra jellemző viselkedésre. A turizmus esetében kevésbé kutatott terület a különböző generációkhoz tartozó személyek szemléletmódjának, fogyasztói magatartásának kutatása, amely elengedhetetlen feltétele a sikeres piaci működésnek és a turisztikai ágazaton belüli sikeres innovációnak, ezért a tanulmány kitér a korosztályok közti eltérések bemutatására is. By becoming in itself a real mass phenomenon, tourism has generated several positive phenomena. However, if we consider the impacts of today’s mass tourism, its unwanted side-effects from social and environmental perspectives are also to be seen. In some destinations today the living conditions of the residents have deteriorated and the natural environment has suffered. For tourism to be sustainable, changes are needed, both in the supply of tourism and the demand of consumers. This paper, using the findings of a recent representative survey, looks at how open the Hungarian population is to adopting environmentally conscious and responsible behaviour during their travels. The survey of attitudes and consumer behaviour of different generations, a less intensively researched area in the field of tourism, is vital for a successful market operation and for successful innovation within the tourism sector, and so the paper also deals with the presentation of the reasons for the differences among generations.

This paper argues that the strongly established connection between identity and consumer behaviour may not be necessarily applicable in examining environmentally conscious behaviour through an identity lens due to several other factors that may especially influence environmental identity formation; (1) the continuously evolving nature of environmental identity in the context of complexities (i.e., political debates, climate change science) of climate change; (2) the challenges of expressing inner connection with nature (i.e., instrumental value vs. intrinsic value); (3) the various cultural and symbolic meanings associated with environmentally conscious behaviour (i.e., functional benefits vs emotional benefits) and (4) different forms of behavioural practices (i.e., environmentally conscious behaviour vs. anti-consumption). Therefore, this paper recommends utilising insights and measurements unique to environmentally conscious behaviour as opposed to that of general consumer behaviour because the antecedents of the former, especially environmental identity projections can be multifaceted.
