Hide description

Sustainability is a business imperative in many markets – but consumer expectations around it are anything but uniform. Based on insights from Simon-Kucher’s recent book, The Demand Revolution (MIT Press), this session unveils eight distinct consumer archetypes that redefine how brands approach sustainability. How can companies balance affordability, authenticity, and impact to drive both growth and brand preference?

This session will explore how leading businesses adapt their sustainability strategies to different consumer expectations, aligning commercial success with market-specific demands. Expect a fresh framework for consumer-centric sustainability, real-world case insights, and actionable strategies to accelerate your company’s transformation.
