Impact of Social Pressures in Retail and Apparel
Consumers value retailers that support social movements, but they must not be seen to be performative. GlobalData’s Q3 2022 global consumer survey found that more than 55% of consumers agree, to some extent, that they want brands to address global social issues, such as racism and sexism. Awareness of these social issues translates into purchasing preferences, as consumers align which retailers they purchase from with their values. For instance, retailers that are perceived to be helping consumers the most during the cost-of-living crisis will experience a boost in their reputations and gain shoppers.
Numerous social problems exist within retailers’ supply chains, with the lack of traceability due to the proliferation of outsourcing an issue that retailers must address, using technologies such as blockchain.
Social media conversations on social responsibility in the retail and apparel industry grew by more than 22% in Q3 2022 over the previous quarter. Sustainability, diversity & inclusion and CSR were key discussion trends.
