ABSTRACT
In a competitive market, enterprises should strive to offer excellent services and products while
implementing robust environmental policies that not only attract customers but also foster loyalty.
This study is intended to fill a gap in brand dimensions (including brand identity, brand awareness,
brand love and brand loyalty) through the role of perceived environmental responsibility and the effect
of perceived social responsibility to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty. A questionnaire was
given to people who used milk products in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) to obtain customer perceptions.
To test the model, 537 data samples were chosen. This study explores the role of the brand dimension
on perceived social responsibility toward customer satisfaction. The results indicate that customers’
perceptions of an enterprise’s social responsibility positively influence customer satisfaction. Perceived
environmental responsibility insignificantly influences customer loyalty but significantly affects
customer satisfaction. Our findings imply the importance of milk enterprises engaging in environmental
and social responsibility activities with brand building and implementing appropriate strategies and
policies regarding their impact on the environment and communities to increase customer satisfaction
and loyalty.
