Register NowAbout the Webinar
Sustainability is at the forefront of new product development, from how products are designed to how they are manufactured. This trend has risen with the growth of Green Consumerism, where consumers are demanding and willing to support environmentally friendly companies and pay more for eco-friendly products.
Brands are making concerted efforts to become eco-conscious and change their practices and their supply chains to meet these goals. As more companies use this as a strategy, they are also benefiting from improved operational efficiency (by reducing costs and waste), expanding their customers base and strengthening brand reputation.
