Sustainable retail in Brazil – statistics & facts
With the onset of climate change awareness on a global scale, consumers have sought out more environmentally friendly outlets in order to sustain their growing spending habits. One of the outcomes from this shift of mindset is the rising success of sustainable practices in retail. In Brazil, considered the third most sustainable country in Latin America, not only has the trend translated to greater support for overall eco-conscious marketing, but also support for social-environmentally responsible businesses. However, despite these beliefs rising in popularity, many Brazilians are withheld from investing fully into the practice of sustainable consumerism due to a perceived lack of support from companies and the government, as well as general affordability.
