According to a Global Sustainability Study, one third of consumers are willing to pay a premium for sustainable products and companies should prepare for sustainability to become the expectation and not the exception in the future.
So how can retailers make better decisions in their sourcing when it comes to sustainability?
1. Making one trip to Reed Gift Fairs Melbourne and sourcing from 410+ premium brands under one roof saves more fuel and carbon emissions than making multiple journeys to individually meet suppliers.
2. Source sustainable products from 100+ dedicated, eco-friendly brands attending Reed Gift Fairs Melbourne.
3. By shifting the Big Book event guide from print to digital, Reed Gift Fairs is saving 112 Australian gum trees per event.
