Sustainable Shoppers Webinar – April 9, 2019
Julia Wilson, Vice President of Global Responsibility & Sustainability at Nielsen, dives into how sustainability in the FMCG landscape is evolving in this presentation. Consumers aren’t just demanding that companies make changes to better the world. They’re also making a few adjustments themselves. The majority (73%) of consumers say they would definitely or probably change their consumption habits to reduce their impact on the environment. That doesn’t mean every sustainability trend provides an equal opportunity for growth. There’s a wealth of sales trends globally that show that products living in the sweet spot of “healthy for me and healthy for the world” are growing in demand.
Mind, Beauty and Soul Webinar – May 7, 2019
Today’s beauty consumer is evolved. Beauty is a line item on her holistic wellness plan and she already knows the basics of what is natural, therefore she is looking beyond labels to understand the specific ingredients in products. Join this webinar to hear from Karen Wolfe, VP of Client Development at Nielsen as she uses a combination of point-of-sale data, consumer panel and custom research to present new insights to help you understand who the evolved beauty consumer is. You’ll also learn how to navigate the ever-changing ingredient game; bring clarity to beauty consumers’ perceptions of sustainability and wellness; and leverage an omni-channel approach to create new opportunities.
