Companies are prioritizing climate positive initiatives
Trend - While many eco-conscious brands have aimed for carbon-neutrality, there has recently been an increase in brands committing to being climate positive or producing zero carbon emissions while also removing additional carbon from the environment. With consumers' values shifting towards eco-conscious consumption, these initiatives highlight how brands are innovating their products and manufacturing processes to set a precedent of shifting towards a positive impact on the environment.
Insight - For eco-conscious consumers, corporations are often seen more as a hindrance than help toward the goal of ultimate sustainability. Largely because so far, the climate change crisis is often facilitated by corporations. Thus, consumers are more likely to trust brands that take actively visible climate-positive stances, and follow-through in everything from materials used to production processes.
