How can brands address the
environmental concerns of shoppers?

Sustainability is a growing concern for consumers. These concerns have a direct impact on their shopping behavior, including their attitude towards certain brands, which products they purchase, how they want products packaged, and more. We’ve evaluated these concerns and connected them with what consumers are actually purchasing for rich insights around environmental concerns and action, as well as insights on how these attitudes and behaviors have changed over time.
