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.

It will showcase research that demonstrates that leadership in sustainability is good for business as well as being good for the planet. And it will show how market research is an essential tool for challenging and changing attitudes and behaviours.
