  5. INTRODUCTION Ethical consumerism helps in motivating people to think that the products that they purchase should be produced and sourced without damaging the society and environment. For instance, consumers are taught that should buy the goods of companies which believe that child labor and ineffective working conditions are a crime. However, through such type of practice, it helps in overcoming the negative impact on society and environment (Cottrell and Morris, 2012). In the present study, Oxfam has been undertaken which is working as a NGO for the welfare of community in order to provide a better living standard to people. Moreover, the research analyzes different areas that claim to operate ethically in the market. It also aims on focusing that there are varied factors that influence the purchasing behavior of consumers by carrying out primary research (Segers and et.al., 2013).

  6. that harms or damages the environment or society (Ethical consumerism meaning, 2014). Ethical consumerism is a behavior that is adopted by people nowadays in order to promote the buying behavior of ethical products and services. The individual behavior focuses on positive buying that considers customers to purchase the goods that are produced through ethical investment (Edwards and et.al., 2014). Thus, in order to attract ethical buyers, businesses need to promote their products with focusing on the labels and standards which state that the purchased product is ethical in nature. Businesses are also required to focus on eliminating child labor and ineffective working conditions to labor. It is because; if business carries out such activity then ethical buyers would not move towards purchasing the product and thus, it decreases the sale of companies. Therefore, it is essential for the firm to maintain quality standards and labels so that it does not affect the decision of consumers and profitability of firm (Griffiths, 2012). Organizations nowadays promote ethical consumerism so that they can attract customers and would earn high revenues. Thus, top management of firm needs to provide good working conditions to employees so that they can be satisfied and promote the business in order to enhance the sales of firm. In the present era, ethical consumerism is a emerging market that provides consumers a different standard of living in society (Cox and et.al., 2007). It involves different merchandise such as banking, finance, energy, food, drinks and fashion etc. Toll Free No. +44 203 3555 345 Mail Us: help@globalassignmenthelp.com Global Assignment Help experts offer best quality Online Assignment Help to the students at an affordable price.

  7. Illustration 1: Ethical consumerism (Source: Kneale, 2014) DETAILED OVERVIEW OF OXFAM CLAIMING TO OPERATE ETHICALLY Oxfam is directly working with different communities in order to influence the people to become powerful. Main aim of business is to provide individual the right to carry out their rights and also, to empower them for managing their own lives. Also, it ensures that people living below poverty line should enhance their living standard (Moreira and et.al., 2013). Oxfam is an international association that involves around 17 businesses working in approximately 94 countries worldwide in order to overcome and find a solution to poverty. Its main program has three motives to improve the upliftment of community that is living in poverty for long time, carrying out humanitarian work and providing assistance to people affected from natural disaster. Business also obtains specific vision to create the world free from poverty (Koprowska, 2010). Thus, in order to fulfill such aim, it organizes varied development programs, workshops, campaigns and so on. However, it also helps business to maintain the transparency and accountability in order to achieve the desired results. Hence, through carrying out such humanitarian activities, business claims to operate its business ethically.

  8. Illustrat ion 2: Oxfam bank (Source: Wong, 2014) There are different approaches identified and evaluated by Oxfam with regard to become social and ethical. It is as follows- Equality act- It is an effective legislation passed in 2010 by UK government. The main aim of such act is to provide equality to workers at the workplace by providing equal rights and opportunities in order to improve their skills and quality. Thus, Oxfam also involves this act in order to develop proper functioning and to execute the best practices with attaining the desired results (White, MacDonnell and Ellard, 2012). Business provides equality among workers so that they can be satisfied from their job and would provide the best results in terms of profitability.

  9. Not for profit approach- Here, it can be stated that Oxfam operates its business not for profit and provides community a better chance of improving their living standard. Thus, working as a not for profit approach, it relays on donations and grants from big corporate houses in order to support the community as a social cause. Hence, company uses such amount in order to support the poor people to overcome poverty and to enhance their standard of living (Singh, Iglesias and Batista-Foguet, 2012). Sample Report on Study Skills For Complete Assignment Kindly Contact us at: help@globalassignmenthelp.com FACTORS INFLUENCE CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOR There are varied factors that affect the individual's buying behavior at the time of purchasing merchandise. Thus, in the present study, research has been carried out on students of GSM London. The main purpose of carrying out this research is to identify the buying behavior of individual (Solomon, Russell-Bennett and Previte, 2012). In relation to this, there are three major factors that influence the buying behavior of GSM students. It is as follows- Personal factors- It involves different personal factors that affect the purchasing behavior of individual such as age, religion and sex. For example, it can be evaluated that Toll Free No. +44 203 3555 345 Mail Us: help@globalassignmenthelp.com Global Assignment Help experts offer best quality Online Assignment Help to the students at an affordable price.

  10. the needs and wants of purchasing ethical products differs as per their age. It is a crucial factor that influences the tastes and preferences of consumers. Likewise, the aged people will prefer to consume food which is not so spicy as compared to young people who prefer to try something chilly and spicy. Thus, carrying out survey on the taste and preference of GSM students analyzed that they prefer to consume different products but which are sold ethically in the market (Davies, Lee and Ahonkhai, 2012). Social factors- It is another critical factor that affects the purchasing decision of buyers. The families of GSM students are also involved in survey and by analyzing their responses; it has been found that they are loyal towards purchasing ethical goods so that poor people can be safeguarded (Bucic, Harris and Arli, 2012). Thus, buying behavior of people is changing and focusing on adopting ethical goods and services as their main aim is to promote poor people to enhance their living standard. CONCLUSION From the above study, it can be articulated that each and every business is required to develop ethical consumerism concept in order to produce products or services. Further, the main purpose of adopting such concept by Oxfam is to overcome the poor people from poverty and to improve their standard of living. Thus, Oxfam carries out its business which is totally based on fair practices that helps in serving the clients well and attains the best results. Business also undertakes varied approaches such as unethical practices; equality act etc. in order to serve the people better and also, to improve the overall image of enterprise. At last, business carries out research on GSM students in order to analyze buying behavior of consumers. RECOMMENDATIONS It has been suggested that Oxfam is required to generate more transparency and sustainability in the firm with an aim that individual is required to be aware about the ethical morality concept. Also, business is required to differentiate its corporate brand image from its rivals. Through following ethical consumerism, it reflects that business is trying to provide Toll Free No. +44 203 3555 345 Mail Us: help@globalassignmenthelp.com Global Assignment Help experts offer best quality Online Assignment Help to the students at an affordable price.
