- Grocers face a gap between consumers’ desire for sustainable food products and packaging and their perceptions of how food retailers are measuring up, according to a recent survey from data and software firm Retail Insight.
- Seventy-seven percent of the 1,000 U.S. consumers surveyed by the firm said they have tried to be more sustainable in their consumption habits in the last 12 months. Nearly half (49%) said they would pay more for green goods, which bumped up to 64% among millennials.
- But what shoppers want isn't matching up with what they are finding in grocery stores, with 67% saying retailers have more work to do to boost their sustainability credentials, Retail Insight found.
