Reflecting customer values is recognised as a key component in creating successful brands, and companies see sustainability as an increasingly important attribute that must be authentically reflected within its brand.

We see this trend developing in the rapid growth of pre-loved goods being directly marketed at consumers, along with a greater importance placed on highlighting ethical and sustainable supply chains, particularly in premium and luxury products.

More brands are increasingly offering options to prolong the product life cycle, enhancing brand loyalty as it reduces carbon footprints.

It’s great to see circularity taking centre stage for retailers and brands across all sectors, and for our March online pitch event we were delighted to showcase 3 early-stage, growing businesses and their founders excelling in their fields, all whilst supporting a circular economy transition.
