The Green Response
With the restrictions brought about by the pandemic, we can see that the behaviors of many people have changed for the better. After having been more or less forced to live more sustainably, the Green Response Survey shows that people are keen to keep these habits as we move towards a ‘new normal’. How do we make sure that these new habits stick? What can big companies do to not only encourage people to live a greener life, but to give them the means necessary? And is sustainability really a young person’s game? Find the answers to these questions and more, in this episode of Essential Talks.

In this episode, we look behind the curtains and meet the men and women making sure the shelves are fully stocked even in unprecedented times. We also look into how smart innovations pave the way for the future of logistics.
