Consumers hold companies most responsible for improved environmental and social standards, according to research from the newly-released Mintel Sustainability Barometer.
Specifically, consumers say companies are the most responsible for a host of issues. Almost half (48 percent) of global consumers believe companies are responsible for increasing the amount of packaging that is recycled; while only a quarter (25 percent) believe responsibility lies with consumers, and just a fifth (20 percent) with governments.
