According to our latest research, consumers don’t believe that most retailers are doing a good job with their home delivery sustainability efforts.
Yet consumers care about being eco-friendly and intend to buy more from retailers they perceive to be sustainable.
This means there is a massive opportunity for forward-thinking retailers offering home delivery to seize a larger market share by implementing and promoting sustainable initiatives. Moreover, these initiatives often go hand-in-hand with increased fleet efficiency and therefore lower costs. Given that e-commerce purchases and sustainability expectations are going to rise, now is the time for retailers to improve their home delivery and sustainability efforts.
Descartes’ latest consumer research shows that:
Eco-friendly delivery options present a significant opportunity for retailers because they drive delivery density and are therefore more cost-effective than traditional deliveries. With substantial numbers of consumers willing to pay for sustainable delivery options, there is even an opportunity for e-commerce retailers to use new eco-friendly delivery options to increase profits.
Descartes can help optimise your delivery solutions to make your fleet more sustainable and cost-effective.
