 II. Nine Sustainable Behaviors that Can Unlock Good Growth for Your Brand (25 minutes)

Based on our research, 96 percent of U.S. consumers surveyed say they are trying to live a sustainable lifestyle, at least some of time. All else equal, four out of five also say they are ready to switch to a more sustainable brand. However, here’s the challenge. Most cannot name a brand or company that is going above and beyond to help consumers make better choices on how to address environment and social challenges. This is a greenfield opportunity for your brand. This session will cover the nine sustainable behaviors that consumers can take to make the greatest impact and explore how you can embrace the ones that are authentic extensions of your brand to drive good growth.

Takeaways:

  • Discover which nine sustainable behaviors are the most effective
  • See where consumers say they are taking action and what prevents them from doing more
  • Learn how supporting relevant behaviors can drive innovation, increase affinity and fuel growth for your brand
