For the first time in human history there is a
common agenda for change and
sustainability has gone from a nice-to-do to
a must-do.
Forbes Feb 2021: 90% of executives think sustainability is important for their business but the majority are lacking when it comes to implementation

A fifth of adults have stopped using a brand over the past 12 months
because they thought it had tricked users by ‘green washing’.
More than half (52 per cent) of 2,000 UK adults aged 18 to 25 are
‘keeping an eye’ on the business practices of the companies they use.
