Green ambitions, golden opportunities

The global cost of living may be rising, but consumers continue to care about environmental issues. In fact 73% of global consumers think it's important that the brands they love take responsibility and embrace sustainable company practices. Our market research reveals how FMCG is turning into the retail hot spot for turning concerns into action, with 53% of global consumers selecting one brand over another specifically because it supports a cause they believe in.

Sustainability vs Inflation

Environmental awareness about ecological issues and the production of plastic are no longer topics that can be avoided. The green movement is here to stay, and strategic insights are the key to unlocking business growth.

Our latest whitepaper explores recent developments in sustainability, and retail consumer behavior in times of high inflation. Based on the data insights from two major GfK sustainability surveys and reports, Who Cares Who Does (fourth edition) and Green Gauge: the shopper edition, both are available for purchase now.
