In an era marked by growing environmental consciousness, consumers are increasingly seeking sustainable alternatives to everyday products. This shift in consumer behaviour presents a unique opportunity for retailers to align themselves with eco-conscious brands and cater to the burgeoning demand for sustainable goods. Explore why partnering with ecojiko can be a strategic move for retailers, and highlights the values, products, and mission that make us an ideal partner in the journey toward sustainability.
What is Sustainable Consumption and Production?
Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) is a holistic approach that seeks to minimise the environmental impact of goods and services throughout their lifecycle. It encompasses resource efficiency, waste reduction, and the promotion of sustainable lifestyles. For retailers, embracing SCP principles translates to stocking products that are ethically sourced, durable, and have minimal environmental footprints. By offering such products, retailers not only cater to consumer demand but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
In 2023 sustainable products occupied 18.5% of the consumer packaged goods in the market. This shows a rise of 1.2% in 2022.
The Importance of Sustainable Consumption and Production for a Greener Future
SCP plays a pivotal role in mitigating the adverse environmental impacts associated with traditional consumption and production patterns. By promoting resource efficiency and waste reduction, SCP helps conserve natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and minimise pollution. Embracing SCP principles is essential for building a resilient and sustainable future for all.
A survey covered by ISO-Cert Online in 2023 found more than 82% of respondents responded by saying a poor environmental track record would factor in alienating a customer from a brand. This shows more people are becoming more conscious and aware of the way companies work and their environmental impact.
