The impact of pandemic-induced lockdown has undeniably transformed consumer behavior in an unprecedented manner, from driving a spike in ecommerce across the board to a rise in demand for holistically sustainable goods. The need for change is clear, with 2020 setting new records for climate disasters; incidents that also impact businesses and geographies as well as communities of people from workers to customers.
