How To Show Customers Your Sustainability Efforts

Every small step adds up to make a difference. Find out how to show customers you’re making sustainability a priority.

 

Sustainability. It’s not a new concept, but with our planet feeling the effect of climate change, customers are taking it more seriously. And they want to buy from and work with businesses who take it seriously too.
 
That’s why 91% of SME owners believe it’s important to be sustainable, but 42% struggle due to a lack of guidance.
 
And with the focus often being put on priorities like keeping your business afloat or managing budget for future development, you might not be able to invest in more sustainable technology or only use fully sustainable and traceable suppliers. But there are some simple ways you can start to show customers your business is serious about sustainability.
