Ethical consumer behaviours are on the rise, however, the cost of living crisis is squeezing consumers’ purchasing power, and when coupled with supply chain and production issues, it will cause some consumers to trade down. Cautious households are also increasing practices such as second-hand shopping, upcycling and reusing items across numerous sectors, including DIY, home retailing and beauty and personal care.
When the cost of living crisis eases, ethical consumer behaviours will move into the spotlight again across multiple categories, including travel. An increased number of consumers are calling for transparency from brands and proof of their ethical practices, supply chains, ingredients and materials. Consumers want to ensure their money is spent with brands that share their values.
More and more shoppers actively seek out ethical brands to shop with, presenting an abundance of opportunities for UK ethical retailers to focus on becoming sustainable and ethically aware.

Consumers are increasingly valuing ethical practices when considering which retailers to shop at. Knowing that workers and suppliers are treated fairly as well as the source and makeup of products gives shoppers confidence in their ethical shopping behaviours. Brands must make ethical choices easy and tangible for consumers, who will look to brands to lead the way. With an increase in brands and retailers being called out for greenwashing, it is vital that brands make transparency more understandable for consumers.”
