A new study of consumer attitudes around the sustainability of retailer delivery operations finds that only 43% feel retailers are doing a good job using sustainable delivery practices. However, more than 60% of the 8,000+ U.S., Canadian and European consumers surveyed said they are quite/very interested in environmentally friendly delivery methods. Almost as many (59%) said they are willing to act if they’re not satisfied with retailers’ sustainable delivery efforts.

Produced by Descartes Systems Group, Atlanta and London, the report also revealed that consumers are willing to buy more from companies — particularly super- markets — that can demonstrate that their supply chain is more sustainable than competitors’.
