LONDON, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — More than 60% of global businesses implemented a sustainability strategy in 2024 but only 10% believe they are communicating their sustainability strategy effectively, reveals data analytics firm Euromonitor International.

Findings from Euromonitor’s new Passport Sustainability platform show that in 2023, 20% of all sales globally were of products featuring sustainable claims. These products have achieved, on average, 1.5% higher sales growth over the past four years

Passport Sustainability helps businesses track performance of sustainability claims, understand consumer sentiment and craft effective strategies.The upgraded platform covers 11 industries, 25 global markets, 50 product categories and over 70 different sustainability claims.

Clear and honest communication to guard against greenwashing label

Maria Bogdanova, Senior Product Manager for Sustainability at Euromonitor International, said that the effectiveness of sustainable products hinges on clear and honest communication to guard against claims of greenwashing.

“While ‘natural’ remains the leading sustainability claim in value sales, its vague nature has raised concerns about greenwashing, particularly in the Beauty, Personal Care and Pet Care industries, where 39% and 37% of products respectively, feature ‘natural’ claims in 2023. Regulatory bodies in the EU and several US states are responding with bans on unsubstantiated sustainability claims.”

Top Three Value Sales Claims by Industry – Organic, No GMO, Vegan/Vegetarian

Beyond Natural, clean labels such as Organic and No GMO and diet claims like Vegan and Vegetarian ranked among the top three in value sales across packaged food, beauty and personal care, pet care and consumer health.

Bogdanova said: “Breakfast Cereal leads the way, with over 20% of all products featuring a vegetarian claim followed by Sweet Biscuits, Snack Bars and Fruit Snacks with only 9%. The share of these clean products is expected to grow, driven by aggressive investments from global retailers like Tesco, Walmart, Albert Heijn, Carrefour, and Lidl. “

Spotlight on Zero Waste and B Corp Claims 

Zero Waste and B Corp are the most frequently recurring claims among the top five fastest-growing sustainability value sales claims. Zero Waste commits companies to take the opportunity to reduce raw material use and minimise waste.

Bogdanova said that B Corp certification, which signifies a company’s commitment to social and environmental performance, is also gaining traction. Obtaining a B Corp certification is a lengthy process.

The Beauty industry leads the number of B Corp certified products with brands like The Body Shop, Dr Hauschka and Elemis embracing certification. The number of SKUs in staple foods and snacks with B Corp claim has increased by 49% and 40% over the last two years.

What to Look for in an Online GLP-1 Provider: Meant Outlines Five Questions Worth Asking Before Signing Up

Published

on

By

MANASSAS, Va., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As more telehealth companies offer GLP-1 care, the options can look alike from the outside, and telling them apart takes more than a glance at a landing page. Meant is sharing five questions consumers can ask when choosing an online GLP-1 provider, along with how it approaches each one.

Five Questions Worth Asking

Who makes the clinical decisions? A trustworthy provider should be clear about which licensed clinicians review each person’s information. At Meant, those decisions are made by licensed providers through its clinical partner, OpenLoop Health.Is there a real evaluation first? Look for a health-history review before anything is prescribed, and for plain language that a prescription is never guaranteed. Meant’s online assessment covers health history, current medications, and goals.Can the company’s credentials be checked? Independent certifications are one signal consumers can verify for themselves. Meant displays the seal for its LegitScript certification on its website.Is it clear who fills prescriptions? Providers should be open about the pharmacies they work with and whether those pharmacies are licensed in the United States.Is ongoing support spelled out, limits included? Good providers explain what follow-up looks like and who handles which questions. Meant pairs care with an optional Care Coach, and medical questions go to the care team.

A certification is a transparency signal, not a government approval or a promise about results, and no checklist replaces a conversation with a licensed clinician. Meant does not diagnose or prescribe, and treatment is not guaranteed for every applicant.

Take a Closer Look

Consumers who want to see how the assessment, clinical oversight, and coaching fit together can visit Meant‘s website and compare the details against the questions above.

The platform combines an online clinical assessment, licensed oversight through OpenLoop Health, Care Coach support, and supplemental wellness resources. Meant does not itself diagnose or prescribe; clinical decisions are made by its clinical partners. Learn more at meant.health.
