Our research examined how subculture, micro-culture and acculturation influence sustainable food
consumption of expatriates. More than fifty expatriates, retailers and sustainable labeling organizations
participated in the research interviews. The research explored the depth of consumption cultural
phenomenon. Expatriates had varying knowledge of sustainable food labels and its concepts in their
consumption experience. Their sustainable food consumption habit, fueled by the global consumer
culture, related to the triple dimensions. Integration into a new consumption was evident in the findings
of economic considerations. This research provided some strategic and useful insights in responding to
the needs of global consumers or expatriates.
