Climate Change and International Expansion: Friends or Foes?<\/h2>\n

We previously discussed the future of e-commerce <\/strong>and climate protection <\/strong>in the articles such as\u00a0“5 major retail trends for 2020”<\/a>, where we addressed the theme of\u00a0sustainable development.<\/strong> The testimonials of several entrepreneurs during Paris Retail Week showed that the ecological vision of brands<\/strong> was one of the main themes of the event’s conferences, as was the case at the K5 in Berlin. Climate protection<\/strong> is therefore undeniably one of the major concerns of retail and e-commerce players<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We have used the input received as the basis for our new eBook entitled, “Klimaschutz und internationale Expansion” (Environmental Protection and International Expansion)<\/a><\/strong> in which we pose the question as to whether the two are irreconcilable or compatible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Drawing on exclusive dat<\/strong>a from Kantar<\/a> <\/strong>we also highlight consumer behaviour<\/strong> as well as logistical and environmental problems<\/strong>. You will find out how green Europe’s consumers are<\/strong> and which countries are setting the pace when it comes to environmental protection. In summary, it can be noted that many European countries<\/strong> have\u00a0a great deal of catching up to do<\/strong> and are often found lagging behind when compared directly with other countries.<\/p>\n
