Through consumer insights, market analysis, case studies and expert commentary, the report examines the value shifts that are turning sustainability into a must-have, before presenting the key strategies that businesses should adopt to move towards a sustainable future.
: Value Shifts
How sustainability as a box-ticking exercise in corporate social responsibility is no longer enough, the demand for extreme brand transparency and civic-mindedness from distrustful consumers, and the need for long-term planning to unlock growth potential.
: Future Strategies
These include finding a new visual language to engage younger consumers in a more uplifting vision of environmentalism, transforming infrastructure in collaboration with urban planners, politicians and legislators, tackling disposable consumption with a new approach to product aftercare, and exploring the positive sides to synthetic material development.
: Key Considerations
The report is packed with practical take-outs on how to implement the insights in your organisation, from adopting a dynamic pricing strategy to using your dead and flexible physical spaces to make an impact.
