Key Findings
COVID-19 transforms the consumer landscape
The global economy is forecast to enter its worst recession since the 1930s, hitting every sector from hospitality to education and finance. Yet the massive change brought about by the pandemic also makes consumers re-evaluate their life priorities, giving rise to new values and spending criteria.
Putting values into action
The pandemic has accelerated the corporate shift towards purpose over profit, forcing businesses to move from talk to action, putting social sustainability at the core of their decisions and re-evaluating their purpose on a deeper level. Sustainability is no longer a “nice to have”, it is more than ever synonymous with business empathy, purpose and resiliency.
From “Me” to “We”
COVID-19 is proof that global challenges cannot be addressed "as usual”, with unprecedented levels of collaboration and partnerships emerging to deal with the extraordinary challenges that the world is facing.
Finding the right balance
Finding a sustainable balance between people, planet and profits, the so-called triple bottom line, along with empathetic and open communication is essential for business recovery and post-lockdown survival.
Sustainability in austerity
The adverse economic landscape might push some businesses to overlook long-term sustainability goals, as consumers seek affordability. With sustainability often coming at a higher price, businesses need to unlock the power of creativity to come up with sustainable products and services that are also affordable.
Purpose beyond the crisis
The outbreak has demonstrated the huge impact that purpose-driven businesses can have on society. In the months to come, business leaders will face increased scrutiny and pressure to help build a future that is healthier, socially inclusive and more respectful with the natural world, embracing business models that have an overall positive impact.
