Abstract

In surveys, consumers affirm their preference for sustainable over conventional products. But in the supermarket, they often fall back on cheaper conventional alternatives. The higher price of sustainable products may explain the contradiction. Robert Wilken and David Bürgin write that partitioned pricing can make consumers aware of the ethical and sustainability benefits of fair-trade products, increasing their sales.
