22 Jun 2018 --- New surveys of more than 5,000 consumers in five countries indicate that the majority (79 percent) feel that “companies have a moral obligation” to have a positive impact on people and biodiversity in their sourcing of natural ingredients, but only 37 percent feel “confident that companies pay serious attention” to these issues. The non-profit Union for Ethical BioTrade (UEBT) has just published the 2018 edition of the Biodiversity Barometer.

The report offers new insights as well as lessons from a decade of research on biodiversity awareness among over 60,000 consumers in sixteen countries.

The report was unveiled at the Beauty of Sourcing with Respect Conference, an annual event in Paris that brings together executives from global beauty brands, as well as company leaders from the natural pharmaceutical, specialty food and personal care sectors, in addition to non-profit experts, policymakers and others.

One positive finding from the latest Biodiversity Barometer is that awareness and understanding of biodiversity are rising each year. “Interesting findings are the yearly increases in awareness of this issue. It’s particularly driven by young people who hear about it at school and also consumers in emerging economies such as Brazil and China. This is not necessarily surprising because at the world level there are actions underway to increase biodiversity awareness as part of the UN efforts,” Rik Kutsch Lojenga, UEBT’s Executive Director says in a detailed interview with FoodIngredientsFirst.
