The ecologicalization issue boosts much more innovative marketing approaches (e.g., ecological marketing, green marketing) for sustainable development in the last decades (Katrandjiev, 2016; Garg & Sharma, 2017). More and more firms are engaging in innovative marketing practices for sustainable development and personalized preferences of customers to establish their reputation and to generate positive impacts on natural environments (Gerstlberger et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2017, 2018; White et al., 2019). The innovative marketing practice here refers to “the continuous innovations of planning, organizing, coordinating, implementing and controlling the development, pricing, promotion, and distribution of products or services to meet the new challenges of the future ecosystem in a manner that satisfies the following three criteria: (1) customer needs are met, (2) organizational goals are attained, and (3) the innovation is compatible with the ecosystem”. Therefore, it is highly associated with “cleaner production and corporate sustainability” (Dangelico and Vocalelli 2017, p. 1264). In practice, in order to improve sustainable development for the future ecosystem, the engagements of various stakeholders from multiple levels are urgently needed in the processes mentioned above (Cronin et al., 2011), and innovative marketing practices do matter across different levels. For example, at the macro level, government regulatory policy for environmental protection is becoming increasingly important for the sustainable development (Groening et al., 2018). At the firm level, firms’ green marketing strategy is even much more significant for building business competitive advantage than ever (Papadas et al., 2017; Papadas et al., 2019). At the individual level, customers’ green product purchase and sustainable consumption behaviours are fostering sustainable lifestyle and consumerism as well (White et al. 2019). So it is obvious that marketing innovations for sustainability is the key to sustainable development for the future ecosystem (Dangelico and Vocalelli 2017; Gerstlberger et al., 2014).
However, most prior studies tend to examine either marketing innovations or sustainable development separately (Fiore et al., 2018), so it is urgently needed to link the two research streams together and further explore marketing innovations and sustainable development for the future ecosystem. For instance, more research is called for on how to utilize marketing innovations to improve the performance of sustainable production and consumption in general from the perspectives of governments, firms and customers respectively. In particular, given the current Covid-19 crisis backdrop, firms are calling for further studies on innovative marketing practices for the future ecosystem, and some new marketing practices are emerging (Hudecheck et al., 2020; Reeves et al., 2020), which boosts sustainable development renovation (Pirouz et al., 2020) and sustainable consumption transition (Cohen, 2020). As such, new challenges and opportunities for the future ecosystem might co-exist in practices of marketing innovations and sustainable development. This SI focuses on the “green” aspects of marketing innovations, which can be taken into consideration for sustainable development from the perspectives of multiple stakeholders (governments, communities, firms, customers, etc.). Furthermore, this SI also examines how to improve the sustainable development through these marketing innovation practices for the future ecosystem.

·New marketing innovation approaches associated with sustainable production and consumption.
