Sustainability is influencing customer purchase decisions {You read that right, but it’s more nuanced} Recent research finds that sustainability had a significant influence for more than 31% of shoppers on their selection of grocery or convenience retailer, with 40% indicating the same for in-store food and grocery product choices. But interestingly, even among consumers with strong social and environmental values, there’s an acknowledgment that more sustainable choices aren’t always feasible at any cost. It’s critical to understand how these sustainability and which triggering attributes influence demand and consumers willingness to purchase.

The FMCG and retail sectors are undergoing a transformation where #sustainability has become a strategic imperative rather than just a buzzword. Companies are embedding environmental, social, and economic considerations into their business models, driven by increasing consumer awareness and regulatory pressures. Key trends include a shift towards sustainable packaging, balancing cost, protection, and sustainability goals. Innovations like 'Rinse and Reuse' models and the rise of green start-ups showcase the industry's commitment to sustainability. Despite challenges like the cost of sustainable packaging and consumer behavior inconsistencies, the future points towards concepts like 'Circular Retailers' and 'Connected Living,' where sustainability becomes central to business operations. As the industry evolves, companies must stay agile, innovative, and aligned with societal goals to ensure long-term success. Let's discuss how these trends are reshaping the FMCG and retail sectors and explore ways to deepen sustainability in our strategies.

Sustainable retail probably sounds like a pretty broad term these days. But any retailer that prioritises ESG principles sound A-OK to us. But seriously, what do we mean by sustainable retail, and why is it important? In our latest blog post, we've unpacked all the need to know info about how sustainability is transforming the retail space. Have a read here: https://lnkd.in/eBgcXG5h We've also explored what this means for brands. Especially those who prioritise sustainability practices. Being authentically sustainable, through product, packaging, supply chain and sustainability initiatives is proving to be a sure fire way to get on the shelves of more and more retailers. Take Phizz as a perfect example of this. As well as being delicious and a fantastic brand - by building their values around sustainability, they are popping up across the largest UK retailers' shelves. Daniel Cray, founder of Phizz told CleanHub that retailers like Sainsbury’s have a ‘future brands’ program to find disruptive small businesses with unique sustainability approaches and help them secure shelf space. “They know there’s a customer that’s looking for that,” he said. “While it could easily be looked over because of bigger budgets coming from multi-nationals, they want to champion that.” Driven by demand, there’s more shelf space being made for eco-friendly products, and the market will continue to grow.

It’s easy for us to push the idea of longevity and ‘buying better’ in sustainability. Taglines like ‘buy cheap, buy twice’ have become widespread in communicating circularity, and rightly so. But the unseen people, places and processes within supply chains need to be treated with the same attention and visibility if we are going to actually build the sense of value we need to attain sustainable systems. This disconnect maintains a sense that people and planet are disposable, even when we’re not seeing purchases to be. The idea of looking for quality in what we buy still just centralises ourselves, and consumerism, in the sustainability conversation. We need to feel so much more connected to the process pre-buy, pre-‘us’, and who is really behind it. Otherwise the idea of ‘quality’ that we need to grasp stuns so many efforts in translating mindsets and harnessing change. The technology is there for it, the traceability is somewhere, and we need to put pressure on brands to deliver it. Something for us all to keep working at - thanks to Orsola de Castro for this! #traceability #transparency #supplychains
