Join Richard Cope, Senior Trends Consultant at Mintel for the opening session of the virtual Sustainability Summit. Starting at 9:40, his session, “Global Outlook on Sustainability: Meeting Consumers Changing Sustainability Priorities”, is a deep dive into Mintel’s groundbreaking three-year consumer research based on 40,000 surveys across 16 countries. This wide-ranging presentation will:

  • Explore how consumers have become more resource-conscious and frugal, prioritising water shortages over ocean plastic and distrusting offsetting. 
  • Explain how recent extreme weather events and supply chain shortages have shifted consumers’ sustainability priorities. 
  • Articulate how activists are sharpening consumers’ sensitivities.
  • Examine how consumers’ sustainability priorities are evolving and consider what businesses must do to adapt.
