At the beginning SPSS was used to conduct the Descriptive analysis and later on the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was done. At the second stage Confimatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling was done using AMOS. The findings of the study have inducted that a significant positive relationship exists between Malaysian customers' green knowledge and their purchase intention and behaviour. It was also noted that when it comes to consumers' green attitude towards their purchase intention as well as their behaviour a significant relationship is evident. It was made clear that consumer's willingness to pay had a significant negative effect on their purchase intention.
