Consumers to the rescue! Can labeling the environmental footprint of products help save the day?
In a crisis such as the one we are facing now, gaining the trust of consumers means being transparent about the impact your brand and products have on the environment, society and resources.
However, we have no more time and transparency is no longer enough. Immediate action including changes in our consumption behavior are required to even have a chance to reverse what is coming. Consumers know this and want to be able to make more informed and sustainable consumption choices.
This session will focus on how labeling the environmental footprint of products (as an initial step) can help brands be more transparent and take immediate action by enabling sustainable consumption.

Jaye Buchbinder, Head of Sustainability for Emeco (Furniture & Design)
