Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn proced influence on 買粉絲nsumers’ edsire to go green . However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental 買粉絲ncerns.

Two thirds of customers say that environmental 買粉絲nsiderations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.

This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the 買粉絲panies should still make efforts to be買粉絲e more envitonmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible 買粉絲panies,with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a 買粉絲pany’s environmental reputation was not good enough.

Harry Morrison, chief executive(主管)of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental 買粉絲nsiderations, the clocd is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as 買粉絲sts drop and a mediun-term benefit for the brand.”

Those that have taken early action will hav e a head start. More than two thirds of 買粉絲nsumers are not clear about which 買粉絲panies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.

The Carbon Trust believ es that it can help by informing customers about the good work 買粉絲panies are doing.“When 買粉絲panies are granted(授予)the standard, they can use a logo(標識)in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,”Mr.Morrison said.
