Abstract
Aim: Due to the environmental crises threatening natural balance and the future of humanity, new approaches are observed in consumption preferences. Consumers who are sensitive to environmental issues consider future generations and nature in their purchasing decisions. They strive to reduce the overconsumption of resources. The antecedents of this environmental approach, which is called sustainable consumption, consist of variables such as environmental awareness, social awareness, food safety, and fair-trade principles. This study examines whether halal principles, among the increasing Muslim population's fundamental values, are an antecedent of sustainable consumption.
Method: A descriptive research design was conducted to gather the data required to test the hypotheses of the research model. Required data was collected from the members of the Facebook group, which consists of members who share their consumption experiences within the framework of halal principles, through an online survey.
Findings: The findings of this study indicate that halal values affect the tendency to consume sustainably, like other consumptionrelated sustainable values. Within the framework of sustainable understanding for Muslim consumers, halal-oriented values are found to be an influential variable in the consumption process.
Results: It is possible that considering halal values while developing marketing strategies to promote sustainable consumption in countries with a large Muslim population will positively affect consumer attitudes.
