AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
Would you pay more for a sustainable product—or just say that you will? When it comes to sustainability in retail and consumer goods, it’s not always clear shoppers are putting their money where their mouths are. A new episode of the McKinsey on Consumer and Retail podcast digs in to separate consumer sustainability myths from facts, touching on the pandemic’s impact on the trend, generational differences, what issues should be top of mind for CEOs, and more. Take a listen.
