Friday, September 23, 2022

BOSTON, Sept. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 96% of US consumers say they at least sometimes try to behave in ways that protect the planet, its people, and its resources1. Reaching collective climate ambitions requires massive consumer change, and chief marketing officers (CMOs) are well-positioned to drive this growth by "bringing green to the mainstream," according to an action plan for growth released today by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and the CMO Sustainability Accelerator, a coalition composed of the Association of National Advertisers, Sustainable Brands, and Adweek.

Key Points: 
  • Reaching Mainstream Green is a key opportunity for marketers to help close the intent-to-action gap by motivating customers to move beyond expressing concern for sustainability to adopting sustainable behaviors and purchasing sustainable goods/services.
  • "However, we need to make sustainable options meet consumers' core needs, rather than expecting the majority to make tradeoffs when they choose a sustainable option.
  • Making green truly mainstream will require activating large-scale collective action by companies, with CMOs playing a key role."
  • Leverage the full customer engagement toolkit to overcome perceived barriers and drive demand for sustainable choices.
