SUSTAINABILITY Ultimately, consumers are the key in establishing the outcome of Sustainability.    A study by Nielsen IQ Feb 6, 2023 found that 78% of US Consumers say that a “Sustainable Lifestyle” is important to them. A recent Futerra survey of over 1,000 consumers in the USA and UK, discovered that 96% of people feel their own actions, such as donating, recycling, or buying ethically, can make a difference. And over half believe that they personally can make a big difference. However, according to a recent article by Boston Consulting Group, they found that… Some consumers are confused about what they, as individuals, can do to make a difference; only 20% think that they can personally have an impact. More significantly, approximately 70% are disillusioned—wary of corporate claims about progress toward sustainability and suspicious that those corporate commitments are a ruse masking the true intent: merely to burnish reputations and attract customers. High-profile allegations of corporate greenwashing only bolster the disillusionment. There have been many studies and surveys conducted about consumer recycling habits. The numbers vary but averaging out to that only 36-38% of consumers actually recycle the Food and Beverage packaging they regularly use. Resulting in that each year, billions of tons of waste end up in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution and depleting our natural resources. We as consumers must “Walk the Talk” or sustainable business practices by environmentally responsible companies will never reach their full intended impact. From Winery to Consumer...At VS Importing we are 100% "Sustainable"! With our winery, packaging, logistic and distributing partners we will always try to improve on our contributions to Sustainability.  "Methods Change...traditions shouldn't" Ultimately, we consumers are the key to establishing the outcome of Sustainability. #sustainable #sustainablebusinesspractices #recycle #landfills #ecofriendlypackaging #winebytheglass #KeyKeg #Beerdistributors #NBWA #Reyesbeveragegroup #Championbrands #JJTaylorcompanies #levyrestaurantgroup #Levy
