This study examines how environmental information and green marketing affect customers' purchase intentions. The study used a quantitative research design and collected data from 251 users of green products. The results show that Social Influence, Environmental Concern, Subjective Norms, and Perceived Green Control have a positive and significant effect on green purchase intention (GPI).
