The Future of Sustainability in Food and Drinks

Published:September 2011
No.of Pages:108
Price:US $ 2875




Introduction

Consumers increasingly expect companies to take a lead role in addressing sustainability
concerns, and are more willing to act on their sustainable values and shop ethically. This
report aims to understand consumer attitudes towards sustainability, and the latest trends
in the sustainable food and drinks market , in order to identify key opportunities for
innovation and growth.

Features and benefits

* Assess the range of different “green” behaviors exhibited by consumers and understand
different green consumer segments.
* Understand how to target high potential green consumer segments and effectively alter
brand or product positioning to appeal to other segments.
* Gain an insight into how consumers judge sustainability claims and understand how to
effectively communicate sustainability benefits to consumers.
* Assess the key routes (organic, Fairtrade, and eco-labeling) to making products more
sustainable and appraise the size of key sustainable categories.
* Review some of the major sustainability certifications: what they stand for, and their level
of uptake.

Highlights

Sustainability is now a mainstream issue. Most consumers are acutely aware of its extent
and impact, ranking environmental concerns as a high priority. Today’s consumers are
acting on their values and consider ethical shopping as a way to support their commitments,
evaluating the environmental impact of a product when making purchasing decisions.

Consumers are willing to pay a premium for sustainable products if it can be justified
through superior performance or additional benefits such as health or future cost savings.
The most popular sustainable behaviors, such as using energy efficient appliances or buying
locally produced goods, are also budget friendly.

Lack of awareness of sustainable alternatives and confusion over certification labels and
manufacturer claims is the greatest obstacle to sustainable consumption. There is a
significant opportunity for companies to assist consumers to make more sustainable
purchases through improvements in marketing and on-pack information.
Your key questions answered

* What’s the size of the organic and Fairtrade markets and how widespread is the uptake of,
and knowledge of, Fairtrade and organic goods?
* What are the key things consumers look for in sustainable food and drinks brands and
products, and do their buying habits support their beliefs?
* What different types of green consumer exist, how is their behavior characterized, and
how prevalent are these green consumers within the population?
* What information channels do consumers use to assess sustainability issues and green
products? How can food and drinks companies leverage them?
* What attributes must a sustainable food and drinks product have and how do they relate
to traditional drivers such as value for money or convenience?
