Consumers' sustainability attitudes are shifting; here's how brands should react

Host Andrew Davidson welcomes guests Richard Cope, Lisa Dubina and Scott Stewart for a discussion about consumer attitudes towards sustainability, how they are changing and what brands should do to adapt. Climate change and water and food shortages are rising to the top of global consumers’ priority lists as events like the Ukraine conflict and extreme weather play a greater role in their daily lives. Learn about the behavioural differences across markets, why brands need to be more aware of changing preferences, the role of authenticity and education in messaging, and the brands, products and services that stand out – for better or worse.
