As Ethical Living is gaining strength, the global sustainability chain is developing, and an ethical industry is emerging. Ethical Living is being mindful of others (other human beings, animal welfare and or the environment) when making consumer choices. Although an ethical agenda is no longer limited to niche companies, the efforts of major companies are high-profile but often only small-scale. Those that prioritise ethical business practices early will appear more genuine to consumers.

Overview
Why buy this report?
Gain competitive intelligence about market leaders. Track key industry trends, opportunities and threats. Inform your marketing, brand, strategy and market development, sales and supply functions.
EMERGENCE OF ETHICAL INDUSTRY
The “ethicalisation” of society is happening although at a slow pace. As ethical living is gaining strength, the global sustainability chain is developing, and an ethical industry is emerging. Sustainability is no longer only driven by NGOs, it is also closely linked to wider commercial activity.
EARLY DAYS FOR CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY
Long-term charity/sponsorship affiliations have become an important caveat of many companies’ corporate social responsibility and marketing strategies, proving that an ethical agenda and profit do not have to be mutually exclusive. The FTSE4Good, Dow Jones Sustainability Indices and others, provide commercial incentive for acting in an ethical manner.
DO YOUR ETHICAL CREDENTIALS COUNT?
The huge plethora of certification and award schemes means that obtaining certification or being part of an awards list does not necessarily indicate that a company makes true efforts towards sustainable development.
SMALL-SCALE ETHICAL AGENDAS WILL LOOSE
Although an ethical agenda is no longer limited to niche companies, the efforts of major companies are high-profile but often only small-scale. Those that prioritise ethical business practices early will appear more genuine than those which seem to conform as a begrudging necessity. This is crucial in order to gain favour with the increasingly influential millennial consumer.
THE SUPPLY CHAIN UNDER THE MICROSCOPE
Right now, consumers, and in many cases companies themselves, can only see (or effectively monitor) the end-product in the larger supply chain, but it is only a matter of time until the whole production process moves into focus and companies need to have clarity on the sustainability of the entire supply chain including suppliers and partners.
