This paper explored the effect of Eco-Influencer Credibility, Sustainable Brand Transparency, and Environmental Consciousness on forming Sustainable Purchase Intention of consumers mediated by Green Value Perception. Based on PLS-SEM, the results show that both influencer credibility and brand transparency make a positive contribution to green value perception, which then has a strong association with sustainable purchase intention. The value-intention relationship is also enhanced by Environmental Consciousness, which emphasizes on its role in the sustainability intention behavior. Strong reliability, validity, and predictive statistics (R 2, f 2, Q 2, CVPAT) confirm the theoretical correctness and predictive effectiveness of the model. The research contributes to the literature on green consumer behavior by combining the effects of influencers with transparency-mediated value creation and provides practical implications about the sustainability marketing strategies.
