Have you ever bought yourself clothes just because they’re on sale, never to wear them, and end up throwing them in the trash months or years down the line? Or perhaps you’ve bought pre-prepared food that has unnecessary packaging, even though you have the time and resources to prepare it yourself? It’s okay, we’ve all done it.

But now, more than ever, it’s important to be mindful in our decisions when making a purchase. And more and more consumers are making changes to be more conscious of the impact of their purchases. Retailers are a key part in this, and should try to keep up with this shift. It can be hard to know where to start, but this course will give you some key tips to help.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Recognize the potential benefits of supporting ethical consumerism
• Understand the considerations conscious consumers make when making purchases
• Identify changes you can make in your organization to support ethical consumerism
