Cosmetics manufacturers benefit from halal-green branding on their products to enter new halal markets and increase market share

-

 Although it is critical to integrate the concepts of halal and green, including in the purchase intention study, they are frequently examined separately. This integration enables the development of a holistic and all-encompassing management model that incorporates both physical and spiritual values. This study combines halal and environmentally friendly elements and analyses environmental knowledge and halal-green awareness, which have yet to be reviewed in relation to halal cosmetic products.


This study discovered that religiosity has no effect on halal-green awareness, and halal and green awareness have no effect on purchase intention. In increasing consumer purchasing interest, attitude can act as a moderator for halal and green awareness and religiosity. Furthermore, environmentally friendly labels and environmental knowledge influence purchase intention indirectly via two mediating variables: halal and green awareness and attitude. Those evidences suggest that as Generation Z Muslim consumers become more religious and more aware of halal and the environment, their attitudes toward eco-friendly halal cosmetic products will improve, influencing purchase intention.

The following recommendations are motivated by these evidences. First, in terms of certification, cosmetic manufacturers must pay more attention to product certification so that it is not just the company's self-claims on halal and environmentally friendly. In other side, the government should be able to pay more attention to market product certification. These actions can increase the trust and interest of Generation Z Muslim consumers in eco-friendly halal cosmetic products. Second, not only from certification side, eco-friendly halal cosmetic manufacturers must improve their branding by emphasizing their benefits in order to compete in the market and attract the attention of consumers, particularly Generation Z. Given the enormous market potential of generation Z Muslim consumers, producers must understand their characteristics who buy their products in order to apply appropriate marketing strategies.

A great research undertaken by IPB University in Indonesia. Very privileged to work together with them on this important research for the halal cosmetics industry.

The International Halal Logistics Standard: IHIAS 0100:2010

As Halal is extending towards supply chain management (similar to food safety, where halal integrity is secured from source to the point of consumer purchase : the supermarket or restaurant) it is important to look at halal logistics. Logistics assists supply chains in connecting the individual suppliers, supplier of suppliers, customers, customers of customers to the final consumer: creating a supply network bringing the final halal product to the consumer. Today, even with a simple product as bread, the flour might be imported from China, butter from New Zealand, bread improvers from the Netherlands, seeds from Iran, etc. Supply chains are therefore  complex and international . Complex supply chains , due to the many different supply chain partners bring vulnerabilities along, requiring a ROBUST design in order to protect the halal integrity as good as possible. HalalSecure.com  for example is assisting brand owners for example to better organise and protect their halal s...

The Halal Supply Chain Model

In establishing an integrated halal supply chain (from 'farm to fork' or more precise from 'source to the point of consumer purchase') and optimise the performance of your halal supply chain, it is important to realise what are the components or so called 'logistics building blocks' of a halal supply chain. The figure below presents and overview of the logistics building blocks in organising your halal supply chain. I will discuss each component accordingly. By developing an integrated halal supply chain, the start is the right intention. Halal needs commitment from the top management through a halal policy , which acts as basis for the organisation of the supply chain. There should be a strategic fit between the corporate strategy and the halal policy. Amongst others, the halal policy addresses (1) the responsibility of an organisation in protecting the halal integrity along the supply chain; (2) the scope of halal certification of the organisation; (3) ...

Introducing the Concept of Halal Reputation Capital

Introduction A robust halal reputation holds both intangible and tangible advantages in Muslim markets, resonating with stakeholders such as Muslim consumers, societies, employees, and shareholders. Building a strong halal reputation is essential for fostering positive sentiments toward the organisation and its brands at various levels, ensuring sustainability and market presence. Beyond the direct impact on sales, a solid halal reputation attracts top-tier talent and garners positive social media coverage. This corporate standing should be considered a vital component of market capitalisation, coining the term “halal reputation capital,” which proves to be invaluable for companies, ranging from millions for local enterprises to billions for multinational corporations. Surprisingly, most businesses operating in Muslim markets lack strategies to measure and fortify their halal reputation capital. Why Halal Reputation Capital Matters In the past decade, numerous local and international b...
