Episode 22
Consumer interest in sustainability has been growing for years, with preferences shifting toward products and services that align with personal interests and beliefs. And the trend isn’t slowing. By 2021, we expect sustainable-minded consumers in the U.S. to spend $150 billion on sustainable products.
But consumer interest in sustainability isn’t limited to things like food and beverages. Today, consumers think about sustainability across everything from resource management to product packaging, which speaks to the ever-broadening nature of the term “sustainability.” Regardless of how it gets defined, however, sustainability is top of mind for consumers around the globe, as 73% say they would definitely or probably change a behavior to reduce their impact on the planet.
那么，这些转变对企业意味着什么呢？一段时间以来，我们一直在关注消费者的可持续发展意愿和消费趋势，同时我们也想探索这种行为的更广泛影响--它们是如何塑造企业格局的。具体来说，我们想了解企业是如何进行调整的，这种调整在最近几年是如何加速的，以及当企业进行调整时，它们的业绩会发生什么变化，如果不进行调整又会发生什么变化。
