Economic prosperity and a rising middle class in emerging
countries is increasing the pressure on the world’s ecosystem,
including the growing need for food and water security. In
addition, as global demand for resources like food, water and
energy rises, access becomes more competitive and prices
may increase. Factors such as ongoing climate change and
more severe natural disasters are also affecting the supply
of resources.
This megatrend has the potential to affect the consumer
goods and retail industry in a number of ways. Consumers will
increasingly expect companies to use the latest technology
for reducing waste of natural resources. And businesses will
need to consider new types of partnerships (for example,
public/private) to secure access to resources. In addition,
the industry will have the opportunity to play a vital role in
securing the nutrition supply in developing countries.
In this environment, how can the industry ensure that people
receive and maintain access to increasingly scarce resources
and that these resources are distributed fairly?
