Abstract
The term ethical consumption does not refer to a clearly defined set of practices. Ethical consumption has become an umbrella term covering a wide range of concerns from ecological sustainability to labor standards and human rights. Ethical consumption practices include so-called sustainable consumption practices. This paper makes an attempt to review the ethical principles of ethical consumption, not only the traditional ones such as green purchasing and fair-trade but also emerging principles such as artificial intelligence, robotics and geo-engineering.
