Climate Change and International Expansion: Friends or Foes?
We previously discussed the future of e-commerce and climate protection in the articles such as “5 major retail trends for 2020”, where we addressed the theme of sustainable development. The testimonials of several entrepreneurs during Paris Retail Week showed that the ecological vision of brands was one of the main themes of the event’s conferences, as was the case at the K5 in Berlin. Climate protection is therefore undeniably one of the major concerns of retail and e-commerce players.
We have used the input received as the basis for our new eBook entitled, “Klimaschutz und internationale Expansion” (Environmental Protection and International Expansion) in which we pose the question as to whether the two are irreconcilable or compatible.
Drawing on exclusive data from Kantar we also highlight consumer behaviour as well as logistical and environmental problems. You will find out how green Europe’s consumers are and which countries are setting the pace when it comes to environmental protection. In summary, it can be noted that many European countries have a great deal of catching up to do and are often found lagging behind when compared directly with other countries.
