RangeMe\u2019s own Brandon Leong, SVP of Marketing & Growth, moderated the educational session, \u201c<\/em>How Certifications Can Increase Sales While Protecting People and the Planet,\u201d on Friday, March 11. Attendees heard from industry experts and some of our amazing certification partners, The Non-GMO Project, Marine Stewardship Council, and Fairtrade America on why certifications matter<\/a>. Some highlights from the educational session included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- 87% of millennials believe that the success of a company should be measured by its social and environmental impact<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- More than 80% of consumers want companies to use labels on products to communicate their responsible sourcing practices<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 78% of consumers said they are willing to pay a premium for a product with a certification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Conscious consumerism has no plans for slowing down, and certifications provide consumers with reassurance that the products they\u2019re purchasing are directly impacting the world for the better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
