Show Notes

Who is the "sustainable consumer," and what drives their choices? In our first-ever consumer insights survey, we uncover:

  • The profile of the sustainable consumer
  • How consumers prioritise what they put in the shopping basket
  • What “sustainability” means to them
  • The most trusted sustainable brands—and why they stand out

In this episode, we reveal the key findings and share actionable strategies for professionals to incorporate these insights into their sustainability efforts.
