ethical consumerism  

Definition

  • Ethical consumerism extends from the premise that purchasers in markets consume not only goods, but also, implicitly, the process used to produce them. Consumption, in this view, is a political act that sanctions the values embodied in a product's manufacture. [Source: Encyclopedia of Governance; Ethical Consumerism]
