Highlights

Concern for the environment has intensified for the majority of global consumers in recent years. Indicative of just how significant the issue has become, about two-thirds of consumers are willing to endure some degree of economic burden to protect the environment a finding made even more relevant in the context of the global economic crisis

Many consumers are deeply skeptical about large corporations claiming to go green, as very few companies are seen as honest to begin with. Highlighting the credibility gaps that impede take-up of ethical products, over one-quarter of global consumers stated that corporations' declarations of their ethical practices were untrustworthy
