Green marketing (GM) has frequently been seen as a prevalent phenomenon influencing companies' operations and functions. This article analyses GM techniques in India's ready-made apparel (RMA) industry by presenting a trio of viewpoints on the subject. It offers a systematic framework for the factors impacting the use of green marketing techniques. GM practices are evaluated regarding the impact on the environment, society, and the economy. Partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is used to conduct empirical tests of the framework, focusing on data collected from a survey that evaluates eco-friendly marketing practices. The results show that environmental, social, and economic factors are beneficially interconnected. When assessing GM practice, the PLS-SEM estimation shows that the relationship between economic and environmental sustainability has a significant proportion of values. However, more data on RMA industries' environmental and social effects must be collected. Additionally, according to the results of the PLS-SEM model, there are considerable differences between actual and expected GM adoption developments and perspectives among various industrial firms, particularly for managing waste and pollution of water. Given the nation's rapid socio-economic growth and technical improvement, social-level performance has minimal impact on GM strategy for RMA industries. Moreover, the research makes some recommendations emphasizing the discovered model's component in motivating commercial organizations to get involved in socio-economic activities that promote the environment, changing the focus of prospective GM areas of study.
