As the US evolves to a more sustainable future, how will businesses adapt?
US consumers are increasingly shifting their behavior to more eco-aware lifestyles and purchasing decisions. The imperative for businesses to adapt and incorporate sustainable practices as part of their core values and operations has never been stronger. Those that have progressed further in their sustainable journey are poised to meet the needs of the consumer and gain market share in the long-term.
