Consumer choice increases green solutions
Posted on April 23rd 2008
Ethical choices are now driving shopping choice - with a third of people
now preferring to consider the origins of coffee, eggs and tea before
buying.
Over half of Brits are concerned about reducing plastic bag waste, 42
per cent said they considered fair-trade issues and animal-testing
ranked strongly in the choices of 37 per cent of customers.
Maxine Xodo, product manager for The Co-operative Bank think credit card
comments: "The research clearly shows that ethical issues are now much
more front of mind for consumers when they are shopping.
"With a much wider selection of ethical options than ever before,
customers now have the option to make choices, which can really make a
difference."
