That puts the environment narrowly ahead of health and wellness (24 percent) and ethics (20 percent).

  • additional details about information, labels and claims first seen offline (83 percent)
  • providing a forum for consumers to voice concerns over business practices (82 percent)
  • reporting progress on social and environmental issues (82 percent)
  • advocating for social or environmental issues (80 percent)
