Exploring the Impact of Sustainability on Consumer Choices in Delivery and Purchasing Across Demographics
Descartes and SAPIO Research surveyed 8,000 consumers across nine European countries, Canada and the United States to provide retailers and logistics organisations with critical insights into the importance of the environment in consumer purchase and delivery decisions and how perspectives vary by age and geography.
Raising questions such as;
- What role does the environment play in those purchase and delivery decisions?
- How motivated are consumers to reduce their carbon footprint through sustainable products and eco-friendly home delivery options?
- What impact are inflation and other economic factors having on consumers’ delivery preferences and behaviour?
