All of the marketing efforts will aim to promote The Rainforest Alliance Certification Seal that will be present on all Devondale products. D 'Souza, Taghian, Lamb, & Peretiatko, (2007) found that displaying third-party certifier logos on products allow consumers to perceive the brand as more credible, because an external organisation has to approve and ensure that the business adopts sustainable practices.
BACKGROUND OF DEVONDALE:
Devondale Murray Goulburn, (2015) found that in 1949, Jim Gemmell was a World War II Returned Serviceman who was assigned to the banks of the Murray River on a dairy farm as a way to reassimilate with society. Gemmell, like many other returned servicemen who were assigned on these dairy farms had no experience or knowledge about dairy farming. They put their heads and their cattle together to form the Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co Ltd. This Co-op enabled the dairy farmers to have greater control over the price at which they sold their milk and other products for. Other small factories in surrounding areas including Swan Hill, Casterton, Deniliquin, Berrigan and Kyabram all joined the Co-operative between the 1950s and the 1960s. In

The process begins with understanding the consumer, without knowing what consumers need or want, it would be extremely hard for firms to both develop and sell a product. Knowing that consumers want more green products due to growing environmental concerns is a very important detail. Needs and wants are what fuel consumer purchases and marketers must perform research in order to best serve their customers. Through this research, marketers are led to the next step of the process and can now develop a customer driven marketing strategy. Here, the firm must decide how it will differentiate its product from others on the market.
Green promotion programs reflect communications designed to inform stakeholders about the firm’s efforts, commitment and achievements towards environmental preservation (Belz and Peattie 2009; Dahlstrom2011).

In today’s day and age, everyone is concerned about the environment. Our society is increasingly encouraged to “go green,” to do our part in making the world a cleaner, more eco-friendly place. Green marketing is one major strategy being used to promote such efforts, but is it effective? There is some debate about this concept, including the history of green marketing, the problems with green marketing so far, the effectiveness of marketing schemes like Sunchips and Toyota, and the strategies that could be used to increase the ability of green marketing. While protecting our planet is a noble concept, its execution seems to be a little vague. Of all the aspects concerning green marketing, one thing is clear: our planet still has a long
