This document summarizes research from the Natural Marketing Institute (NMI) on global sustainability trends. NMI conducts an annual tracking study of over 150,000 consumer interviews in 23 countries to understand attitudes and behaviors related to environmental and social responsibility. The research compares perspectives between developed countries like the US, UK, Germany and Japan, and emerging countries like Russia, China, India and Brazil. It finds that consumers in emerging countries generally care more about environmental protection and socially responsible business. The research also shows increases since 2010 in consumers choosing sustainable products over conventional options.

Sustainable Brands

This document summarizes a presentation on the future of living spaces and workplaces given at Sustainable Brands London in November 2015. The presentation discusses research that identifies different consumer attitudes towards sustainability and circular concepts. It also outlines several emerging trends, like the squeeze on living space in urban areas, the blurring of work and personal life, the rise of responsive smart home technologies, community-focused "maker" movements, and a growing focus on zero waste solutions. These underlying technological and social changes are creating more opportunities for sustainable living than can be achieved through messaging alone. The presentation argues that businesses should focus on aligning with these emerging needs rather than just "selling sustainability."

1) The document summarizes a report by Wolff Olins investigating how leadership practices are changing to adapt to employees who are independent and individualistic. 2) It discusses tensions leaders face in creating an "uncorporation" culture that liberates employees while still meeting corporate goals. It also outlines shifts in leadership approaches over time from command-and-control to more distributed and purpose-driven models. 3) Key leadership approaches highlighted include acting as a "Designer in Chief" who focuses on culture rather than outputs, distributed leadership that trusts employees, and providing a "rough sense of purpose" rather than rigid ideologies.
