🚀 Harnessing Consumer Demand for Sustainability 🚀 Sustainability is THE biggest consumer movement of the 21st Century. Think about it: 78% of consumers rank sustainability among their top 5 value drivers in at least one product category. 🌍 Consumer Trends: The shift is massive. From linear to circular products. From atomistic to holistic values. The average green shopper? They’re investing time and loyalty in sustainable brands. And when they find one, they stick around. Why? Because sustainability drives deeper, more meaningful connections. 📈 The Facts: Near 20% of consumers are not just willing but committed to paying more for sustainable products. They’re not a niche market—they’re the future. 💥 The Impact: Sustainable customers aren’t just buyers. They’re advocates. They drive a higher lifetime value and champion brands that align with their values.

🌍 World Earth day has turned our attention towards the importance of sustainability, but how convinced are consumers? 🛍 Our latest Consumer Compass report reveals some concerning trends on the topic, particularly when it comes to spending habits. 📈 Despite 2023 being declared the warmest year on record, our survey shows sustainability concerns have notably dropped in the last six months. While 74% of consumers prioritise price/value, only 39% view sustainability as a key purchase driver. Alex Ward-Booth explores this trend against government green commitments and highlights how Savanta's AI tool - TrendVue - can help brands decode evolving consumer trends around sustainability. #savanta #consumercompass #sustainable #future #TrendVue

🌍 Sustainability in Shopping: Are European Consumers Falling Behind? 🛒 In a world increasingly focused on sustainability, a new article from BlueSky Thinking  highlights an intriguing paradox: while European consumers lead in awareness, many struggle to adopt sustainable shopping habits compared to global counterparts. Why? Barriers like cost, accessibility, and transparency are holding back progress. 🌱 While brands innovate with eco-friendly products, consumer frustration with greenwashing and a lack of clear labeling remain major hurdles. The article looks at research conducted by Frank Goedertier of Vlerick Business School, Bert Weijters at Ghent University and Joeri Van den Bergh at Human8, which delves into the opportunities for businesses to step up: bridging the gap between sustainability promises and practical, affordable solutions for consumers. It’s not just about ethics anymore—it’s about creating value, building trust, and shaping a future where sustainability is the norm. This is a must-read for anyone passionate about ESG, consumer behavior, or the future of retail. How can we as businesses and professionals make sustainable shopping truly accessible? Let’s spark the conversation. 👇 What are your thoughts on this challenge? How can companies and consumers align on sustainability goals? 💬 #Sustainability #ConsumerBehavior #Innovation #ESG #RetailTransformation https://lnkd.in/eU4jd6nR

Against the back drop of the cost of living crisis (and other global crises right now) the net effect has been an inevitable de-prioritisation of sustainability in the consumer mindset and their purchase power. However, industry and organisational environmental goals remain, as well as the confines of operating within existing regulation and impending legislation. So the question is 'How can brands balance regulatory changes with the shifting sustainability awareness of their consumers?' This is a huge challenge, but also presents huge opportunity if brands can navigate successfully and take consumers on that journey. Alex Ward-Booth explores this further in the article below and you can also download the latest quarterly Savanta European Consumer Confidence report for more context on consumer confidence right now across key European markets.

Consumer sentiment around sustainability paints an alarming picture. Whilst temperatures soared to record highs in 2023, concern over climate change saw a significant drop. Results from our latest Consumer Compass report show that whilst inflation across Europe is on a positive trajectory, consumers remain cautious and therefore continue to prioritise their finances, pushing sustainability down the agenda. With just 1 in 10 claiming to be an early adopter of sustainable behaviours, it is evident that providing education, guidance, and incentive will be crucial in driving positive behaviour change.

If sustainability is on your radar, our latest consumer compass report will have some interesting insights.
