Insight - Eco-conscious consumption is on the rise as consumers understand the impact of their purchase habits on the environment. However, consumers also understand that potential solutions are more institutional than they are about individual habits, and increasingly expect that brands prioritize sustainability as a result.
Workshop Question - In what ways could your brand better prioritize sustainability?
