When making a purchase decision, today’s consumer places a higher importance on green considerations than ever before. Consumers actively seek companies that genuinely and consistently practice environmental stewardship and transparently demonstrate corporate social responsibility. In fact, the 2009 Cone Consumer Environmental Survey reports that 70% of U.S. consumers indicate they are paying attention to corporate environmental stewardship, while an astounding 85% of consumers believe companies should make environmental stewardship an on-going priority.
Directly taking credit for verifiable progress toward a greener, more sustainable business opens up a wealth of communications opportunities by building loyalty, respect and confidence among consumers and other important stakeholders. And as more and more companies jump on the environmental bandwagon, it becomes essential that your message, efforts and commitment to bettering the environment stand out from the crowd. Demonstrating real, measurable, transparent corporate social responsibility programs becomes more than the “right thing to do,” it becomes a key point of differentiation from your competition.
